Because during that time, like millions of women around the world, I’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer,” Amanpour announced at the start of her segment.

    Amanpour said that she’s “confident” in her prognosis as she undergoes treatment.

    “I’ve had successful major surgery to remove it, and I am now undergoing several months of chemotherapy for the very best possible long-term prognosis,” she said. “I’m also fortunate to have health insurance through work, and incredible doctors who are treating me in a country underpinned by of course, the brilliant NHS.”
