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.

There 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.

EP: Have you ever felt that the family that once made you crazy, makes you more sane when you need that love the most?

When I ws diognosed with breast cancer My mother moved in with us for 5 monthes to help keep things running smoothly. I have always loved her but she use to get on my nerves. She is a very antimated person. During and after she moved in I have learned to appreciate her in so many new ways. She took 5 months out of her life, away from my dad, her friends, her life to help us. She kept life "normal" and during treatment I am sure normal kept me sane.
