CNN’s Christiane Amanpour reveals her cancer has returned a third time: ‘I’m just so very lucky’

NO disrespect meant to Amanpour, but i deadass thought they accidentally put a pic of Ghishaline Maxwell instead of hers. A quick google search let me know they are simply just doppelgängers. Double Bummer for Christiane

>George told Jones that by the time most women get diagnosed, they will “have often been going back and forth to the GP for sometimes a year or so with abdominal symptoms and it often gets misdiagnosed as reflux or indigestion, urinary tract infections.”

>”Most women, by the time they get a diagnosis, might have had the cancer for three or four years before it actually gets diagnosed,” George added. “And that’s why most of the women that we see are actually diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer, because it doesn’t have a lot of specific symptoms that people can pick up on and it does tend to be misdiagnosed for quite a long time.”

This is such a heartbreaking and infuriating thing. My mother was recently diagnosed with a rare endometrial cancer that shares many traits with ovarian cancers, and this is *exactly* how things went for her: written off and misdiagnosed for nearly a year before she finally got an advanced-stage diagnosis. Wishing Amanpour the best in battling this beast again. And if you or your loved ones have symptoms that aren’t resolving, push, if you can, for further testing like imaging and/or biopsy.
