Quote:TV-am legend Anne Diamond reveals she has been diagnosed with breast cancer andArchived Daily Mail Article:
undergone a mastectomy as she describes 'a hell of a journey'
She got the diagnosis the same day she learned she was to be awarded an OBE
'The 68-year-old fought back tears as she confirmed she was battling the disease in an interview on
GB News last night. Speaking to Dan Wootton on the channel, she recalled how she was given the
