Veteran CNN broadcaster Christiane Amanpour has revealed that she has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer for the third time.
Amanpour, 67, revealed her diagnosis on the Changing the Ovarian Cancer Story podcast on Thursday, but said it is 'being very well managed'.
'I obviously had all of the relevant organs removed, but it came back a couple times in a lymph node,' she told host Hannah Vaughan Jones.
Amanpour's oncologist explained that she has a rare type of ovarian cancer that makes up less than 10 per cent of cases.
'Most women, by the time they get a diagnosis, might have had the cancer for three or four years before it actually gets diagnosed,' Dr Angela George told the show.
George said that ovarian cancer does not have many 'specific symptoms' and is often 'misdiagnosed for quite a long time'.
'I was potentially lucky because there were actually pain symptoms,' Amanpour said. 'There's often no symptoms so many women don't know, so I feel that I was lucky.'
The journalist is currently undergoing immunotherapy, which she said has had no side effects and is the 'opposite of grueling'.

Terrible type of cancer to have - my grandmother and aunt both died from ovarian cancer - didn’t know they had it until it was way too late - mis diagnosed repeatedly.
I make a yearly donation to hopefully end this wretched disease.
She’s lucky the devil has given IT this long!

I wish her well. Cancer is a horrible thing. I watched my Mother die from liver cancer...a vibrant, healthy, active woman gone in six months.
I wouldn’t wish this on regular, decent people who haven’t done damage to this country. But she’s not one of those people.
The evil left thinks that their lives go on forever. That there is no heaven or hell. They only focus on today or this week or next month or next year. Selfish to the core, pure narcissist, sociopaths all.
No comment.
“In the immortal words of the late great Rush Limbaugh…ditto. Prayers for her and her family”
I despise her more than any other journalist, but yes, ditto.
One of my best friends in high school died at 29 years old of ovarian cancer.
She died within 3 months of diagnosis and left a 6 month old infant and a 3 year old.
It was 50 years ago, but I remember that she said she had cobalt treatments and I assume chemo also.
Very tragic for her husband and family.
Third time is a charm.
Reap what you sowed and aloha snack bar, etc. to you too.
We don’t care about you, but we also don’t wish you ill health or death like you and your regime do to us normal people.
We are different humans, but you are just nothing.
I remember you from the CNN days as the American mouthpiece for Middle East terror.
So, good luck with that and bless your little heart.
That's not how I'd write the headline.
You misspelled Yassers last name. Many people think is is Arafat. It is actually Arafag which is Arabic for Imafag.
Will hope for her full recovery...
Do not want her to miss Trump’s 3rd term....
“Unlike the leftist who could be cheering for the demise of a right-wing personality”
Like the Leftist who could be cheering for the demise of someone she disagrees with, I will always cheer the demise of anyone who HATES the United States and has a position of power that is being used to DESTROY the United States.
hope she gets in the right with God.
I despise that woman. I wish her health and to survive the cancer.
By contrast the left would be praying for death if it were Trump.
I will pray for herand her family. I will also pray for her to see the light an renounce her liberal apostasy.
She has not aged well.
Almost as nasty as the late Helen Thomas
