Veteran journalist Jeremy Bowen today reveals how made him optimistic again.
The broadcaster, who often reports from on the front line of war, said his 2019 diagnosis for bowel cancer helped him find a new sense of perspective on life.
Speaking on Desert Island Discs, newest news the BBC's 63-year-old international editor says: 'There have been some very difficult moments.

I ended up a few years ago with very severe . I took time off work. I took meds.
'I had cancer a few years ago and, touch wood, I have been in remission now for four-and-a-half years and it was quite a serious tumour.
'So I think that has also helped me get a sense of perspective on life because I have always been a glass half-full rather than a half-empty person, and that maybe changed for a while.

I think actually having had cancer brought back the more optimistic Jeremy.'

Doctors discovered Bowen's tumour after he noticed what he called 'funny pains in my legs and krasnodar in my back'. 
He had surgery before a successful course of chemotherapy and his decision to speak out about his diagnosis encouraged thousands of people to undergo tests.
In his Radio 4 interview, Bowen also says he felt responsible for the death of his friend and driver Abed Takkoush in Lebanon in 2000 when the car he was sitting in was shelled by an Israeli tank. 
Just minutes beforehand, Bowen had asked Takkoush to stop the vehicle so he and his cameraman could get out to film Israeli soldiers.
Bowen says: There was this enormous explosion. He [Abed] somehow forced his way out - he was on fire; his clothes were on fire - out of the car and slumped down on to the road.
'It was an awful, awful day and I feel I bear some responsibility.

I can't help thinking that maybe I made a bad mistake... If you loved this report and you would like to obtain a lot more data regarding today news kindly pay a visit to our website. but that is something I have got to deal with.'
