Maryam Moshiri blood cancer diagnosis

Overview

BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri has disclosed that she is living with polycythaemia vera, a rare and incurable blood cancer. Diagnosed in November 2024 after routine blood tests, the condition causes the bone marrow to overproduce red blood cells, thickening the blood and increasing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots.

Moshiri reported that the disease was difficult to detect initially due to a lack of clear symptoms. Her management of the chronic illness involves venesection sessions to periodically remove blood and reduce thickness. She noted experiencing significant side effects from both the condition and its treatments, including extreme fatigue, exhaustion, hair loss, itching, and headaches.
