Amy Dowden is ready to return to the dancefloor after receiving some incredible news regarding her cancer treatment.
The Strictly Come Dancing revealed there is 'no evidence of the disease' as she shared a happy health update following her cancer treatment with her Instagram followers on Friday night. As she broke the good news to her delighted followers, Amy vowed: "Dance floor I’m coming for you!"
The professional dancer, 33, was rushed to hospital last week as her family stayed by her side during the tough time. She received care in the respiratory unit and her husband Ben "spent hours next to [her] bed" while she slept. Amy took to her Instagram following her hospital stay and revealed she was "feeling much better now".
Amy has been open about her breast cancer diagnosis and previously discussed how she found a lump in her breast one day before her honeymoon with her husband Ben. She has been sharing her story on social media and recently took to her page to share the incredible new that doctors have told her there is 'no evidence of disease'.
Along with a snap of her beaming with joy with her arms in the air, she said: "NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! Words I dreamed of! My biggest accomplishment yet! I won't be getting the all-clear for 5 years especially with a hormone fed cancer. But it was all worth it. Words I never thought I'd hear at one point."

"So grateful for all the care I received and continue to have. To my husband, family and friends who supported me unconditionally and to you guys! Thank you! I will still need a monthly injection for 5 years and regular check ups. Chemo and this past year has certainly took its toll on my body both physically and mentally, so I'll be taking the next few months to heal and recover."

Last week, Amy revealed she was taken to the hospital and posted a snap of herself in a hospital gown. She told her fans: "So last week didn't exactly go to plan! Feeling much better now and still taking it easy. But can't thank the nhs and the care I received on respiratory unit enough! Also to my family and Ben of course.
"Always dropping everything and spending endless hours next to my bed whilst I mainly slept. Feeling much better and thanks for the many messages after going quiet! Off to the oncology unit today for my monthly injection (missed it last week with being poorly). How is everyone? The sun is shining and I certainly can't wait for spring."
She shared with her fans that she took a short break after leaving the hospital and remarked 'what a difference a week makes'. Her father responded warmly and expressed, "So happy seeing you look so well after last week. These photos remind me of the fabulous Christmas we all had there."
