STRICTLY Come Dancing pro Amy Dowden broke down in tears as she began chemotherapy today.
The 32-year-old had a mastectomy in June before discovering her breast cancer had spread elsewhere in her body.
Amyupdated her followers today as she prepared for her latest treatment, emotionally revealing she “wished it wasn’t happening” to her.
Sharing a picture as she wore a cold cap, which is used to prevent hair loss, Amy wrote: “I hardly slept. I broke down in tears as soon as I got in the room.
“Cold cap on. So far coping and not as bad as I thought with cold cap on. But just wishing this wasn't happening to me.
“Nurses here are just incredible. Thank you NHS and I've got my fellow pink sister sat by my side and made sure I walked through the door this morning.”

Her Strictly co-star Dianne Buswell rushed to wish her support and wrote: “Sending our welsh dragon every single bit of love, energy , determination, healing vibes and more i know today is a big day for you but knowing you you will be (rrrrrrrreeaady) in your welsh accent to see the light at the end of all of this ,ring that bell and be back dancing with your strictly fam.
