LW: Sara Davies says Amy Dowden didn’t want chemotherapy<\/h3>\n

Amy Dowden’s close friend, Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, claimed how the dancer was initially reluctant to undergo chemotherapy for her cancer treatment. Strictly Come Dancing star Amy was diagnosed with grade III breast cancer earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Due to her treatment, she couldn’t take part in this year’s BBC competition but has still been able to appear as a guest. Monday saw Sara talking about her friend on Loose Women, where she explained Amy’s initial concerns.<\/p>\n

“I know you’re friends with Amy Dowden, lovely, beautiful Amy from Strictly,” Ruth Langsford stated.<\/p>\n

“And she was rather reluctant wasn’t she at first? To have chemotherapy.”<\/p>\n

“Do you know, I was with her when she was making that decision,” Sara replied.<\/p>\n

She continued: “And I remember because she’d had the mastectomy straight away – I know she’s been on the show talking about it – she kind of felt like, ‘Well, they’ve taken it away so that’s finished, that’s the end of it.<\/p>\n

“‘I don’t want to have chemo because I don’t want to lose my hair, I won’t be able to dance on Strictly this year.’<\/p>\n

“But the doctors were saying she should. And I said, ‘Amy, if the doctors are saying you should, you really need to do it.'”<\/p>\n

Recalling the conversation, she explained how Amy had argued: “‘Well, I don’t need to do it.’<\/p>\n
