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 29th, 2007 Christmas Not, December 25th, 2002There is no tree. No presents for each other. Will is so sick and I am so pregnant that we decided our love was gift enough this year. His sister sent two boxes from Wichita. We used to joke about how she would start combing through the catalogues in October to find things we didn't need---a plastic battery operated robot which could serve party drinks on a tray—that sort of thing. But this year, it is quite different. The sentiment behind any present is fully felt.
