BBC BBC News anchor Maryam Moshiri has revealed she has been diagnosed with incurable blood cancer.
The anchor, who joined the BBC in 2003, has covered events ranging from the Pope’s funeral to the Iran war since being diagnosed with Polycythaemia vera (PV) two years ago. Moshiri went public with her diagnosis Monday in an interview with The Times of London.
“I was working 14-hour days, constantly on air, constantly having to think on my feet, and holding it together, despite the fact that I had this chronic tiredness and fatigue,” she told the newspaper. “When you’re doing live news, you have this rush of adrenaline, and you just have to get on with it.”
