Christiane Amanpour shares cancer diagnosis with viewers
CNN
CNN's chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour told viewers Monday that she has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
"I've had successful major surgery to remove it, and I'm now undergoing several months of chemotherapy for the very best possible long-term prognosis, and I'm confident," Amanpour said at the beginning of her daily television program. Amanpour, 63, is one of the best-known journalists in the world, in part due to her fearless coverage of international conflicts. She has been off the air for the past four weeks due to the diagnosis.
