CNN’s Christiane Amanpour is navigating ovarian cancer for the third time.

The international journalist and news anchor, 67, appeared on the Thursday, Oct. 23 episode of Changing the Ovarian Cancer Story podcast and announced that her cancer has returned.

“I have it again. But it’s being very well managed and so this is one of the things that people have to understand about some cancers,” she told host Hannah Vaughan Jones.

“I obviously had all of the relevant organs removed, but it came back a couple times in a lymph node,” she explained, pointing to her doctor to further explain.

Dr. Angela George, Clinical Director of Genomics at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital, said on the show that Amanpour has a rare type of ovarian cancer, making up less than 10% of cases. She said Amanpour is undergoing immunotherapy.

Amanpour said immunotherapy has been “the opposite of grueling” and that she’s had no side effects. She takes her pills every day and has infusions in the hospital every six weeks. It seems to be working well for her, according to her doctor.

The award-winning journalist said that her cancer was detected the second and third times thanks to her routine check-ups every three months.

“The fact that I’m monitored all the time is a superb insurance policy,” she said.

Reflecting on her cancer journey, Amanpour got emotional on the podcast and was struggling to hold back tears while discussing the support she’s had during her treatment.

“I never actually asked for help before…and when I did, I got it,” she said. “From my family, my friends, my colleagues, from everybody. And it was touching but it was really helpful, really amazing.”

“It really sustained me because it’s not just the illness, it’s the state of mind,” she continued. “And to have all these people who just literally every day were asking me how I was, how they could help…the community is actually vital and I’m just so very lucky that I had that.”

Amanpour was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer in May 2021. Ten days later she had major surgery followed by 18 weeks of chemotherapy.

In April 2022, she opened up to PEOPLE about her experience in hopes of raising awareness about early detection. “Ovarian cancer is known as the invisible killer,” she said at the time. “Get all the scans that you can. We women know better what’s going on with our own bodies than anybody. We can trust ourselves. If there’s something wrong, pursue it.”
