In 2023, the dancer discovered a lump in her breast<\/a> and received a grade three breast cancer diagnosis, which meant she was unable to dance professionally as part of the Strictly line-up.<\/p>\n However, as of February 2024, Dowden has been told that her cancer check-up results came back with \u201cno evidence of disease\u201d<\/a>, and she was recently confirmed as part of this year\u2019s professional dancer line-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n Six days after her diagnosis, Dowden allowed cameras to follow her experiences, in which she was faced with surgery, chemotherapy, fertility treatment and uncertainty over 15 months.<\/p>\n What is being described as a \u201craw, deeply personal and honest\u201d film, Amy Dowden: Fight of My Life follows the dancer through \u201cthe most turbulent year of her life\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cA year ago I was recently married and about to go on [my] honeymoon, it was an exciting new chapter in my life, but finding a lump on my breast changed my life,\u201d said Dowden.<\/p>\n \u201cI never thought at my age I would get cancer and, despite having family members and friends who were cancer survivors, had no idea just what the impact on my life would be.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve learnt so much about myself and what a cancer diagnosis means on this journey. I hope others find hope and strength from this film, and that it encourages everyone to check themselves, no matter what age you are.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Nick Andrews, BBC Cymru Wales\u2019s head of commissioning, said: \u201cThe courage and resilience Amy has shown over the past couple of years is without doubt.<\/p>\n \u201cTo then have the strength to also allow cameras follow her deeply personal experience in the hope that something positive will come out of what has been such a difficult experience for her and her family is nothing short of extraordinary.
