Amy Dowden's Sister Expresses Guilt over Cancer Battle

Rebecca Dowden, twin sister of 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Amy Dowden, has expressed feelings of guilt for living a carefree life while Amy battles significant health issues, including Crohn's disease and stage three breast cancer. Amy was diagnosed with cancer just after her honeymoon in 2023 and has since undergone multiple treatments, including a mastectomy and chemotherapy. In a joint interview, the sisters reflected on their close bond, with Rebecca revealing she feels fortunate for experiences Amy could not have, such as university and traveling. Despite their shared experiences as twins, Rebecca struggles to understand why Amy has faced such hardships. Rebecca, who works as a midwife, is cautious about discussing her job due to Amy's fertility challenges post-cancer treatment. Amy has undergone fertility preservation procedures to ensure she can have children in the future, with the hope of starting a family after her recovery.
