Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international anchor, recently disclosed that her ovarian cancer has returned.
Amanpour’s announcement came during the latest podcast episode of Changing the Ovarian Cancer Story, hosted by former CNN International anchor Hannah Vaughan Jones.
“I have it again, but it’s being very well managed,” Amanpour said. She said the cancer, which is classified as “Stage 1/2,” was discovered early, and she learned about it after contacting her doctors about pain symptoms.
Amanpour’s gynecologic oncology consultant, Dr. Angela George, informed her she was “potentially lucky” that she had pain: “There’s often no symptoms,” Amanpour said.
She said that her doctors described this particular form of cancer as a “fairly rare form,” and according to the New York Post, to get it under control, her oncologist is treating it with a two-year immunotherapy treatment.
This is Amanpour’s third bout with ovarian cancer within the last four years.
TVNewser has reached out to CNN for additional comment on Amanpour’s latest disclosure, but the outlet did not immediately respond.
Amanpour considers herself fortunate and is encouraging people to “listen to your body.”
“Part of the reason I got such quick care was because I listened to my body and went straight to the doctors,” she said.
