Overview
- The CNN anchor disclosed the recurrence on the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition’s Changing the Ovarian Cancer Story podcast alongside her oncologist, Dr. Angela George of London’s Royal Marsden Hospital.
- Amanpour said the disease reappeared in lymph nodes despite prior surgery that removed the affected organs.
- Her current regimen combines daily oral medication with hospital infusions every six weeks, which she describes as the opposite of grueling.
- Dr. George said Amanpour’s subtype is fairly rare, accounting for less than 10% of ovarian cancer cases.
- Routine three-month surveillance detected the recent recurrences, and Amanpour urges others to listen to their bodies and seek prompt medical evaluation.
