Carol Lin Reporting
Smarter. Better. Together
Hi, my name is Carol. I've been a network anchor and correspondent for CNN and ABC News. I am now a cancer survivor because I'm the one who lived. When I lost my husband to a rare cancer, I raged against the wind. Why did God and the Universe give us a baby but take her father away? Maybe our story really is about hope, strength, courage. It's time I report on something that goes right to the heart of the matter for cancer families: how life changes, how cancer creates opportunities for us to ask tough questions and demand answers. Isn't that what a journalist is suppose to do? I want to share my journey. I want to hear from you.

"I just started to cry hysterically. I am having a baby. Will can't die he just can't. He can't die. I can't stop saying it. I can't even remember what Jodi said.

I don't want anyone else to know at CNN. I don't want their pity. I just want this to go away."
 
EP, it's been nearly 5 years since I wrote that.  Do you ever try to keep something so intense a secret? Maybe it was my pride that kept me from sharing this at work. What would you do? For me, I somehow thought that cancer was a failure on my part. I would love to know what you think.
