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.

Oct 26th, 2007 Pregnant, Dec 16th 2002I am trying hard to work as if not pregnant. This is harder than it sounds. Today the producer asked me if I could make it to the "map room" two floors up during the 2 minute commercial break. Rick wanted me to interview one of our Generals while standing on a room size map of Iraq. I did not want to say no, so I huffed and puffed up two flights of stairs and pushed open the door of the studio where the map covered the floor. The General eyed me suspiciously. How was he going to make his point if my pregnant belly covered Baghdad? I am trying to keep my sense of humor and sanity. EP, how do you keep your sanity when you're not sure what's going to happen next?
