BBC Anchor Maryam Moshiri Discloses Incurable Blood Cancer Diagnosis

BBC News anchor Maryam Moshiri has publicly shared her diagnosis of Polycythaemia vera (PV), a rare and incurable form of blood cancer. Moshiri, who has been with the BBC since 2003, revealed her condition on Monday, stating that while it cannot be cured, it is a treatable illness.

The journalist received the diagnosis two years ago and has chosen to speak about her experience to raise awareness about PV. The condition affects the production of red blood cells and is associated with an increased risk of blood clots. Moshiri has covered significant global events throughout her career, including the Pope's funeral and the Iran war.
