Amy’s world came crashing down when she was diagnosed with cancer the day after she came home from her honeymoon with dancer husband Ben Jones in 2023.
While she hoped it could be cured by surgery, two months later in June doctors found another type of cancer.
In what became the toughest year of her life, the professional dancer underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy, fertility treatment and also almost died of sepsis.
Amy, who also battles Crohn’s disease, confirmed she was cancer-free in February.
