Sara Sidner is not only covering the biggest stories in the world, but also using her platform to spread awareness of breast cancer among Black women. NEW YORK – In the moments when the effects from chemotherapy were so bad, Sara Sidner placed a bucket next to her anchor desk at CNN. “Only they could make me laugh about poop and cancer at the same time,” Sidner, 52, said of her colleagues. In the process, she has not only continued to cover the biggest stories in the world, but she has also used her platform to spread awareness of breast cancer among Black women. She’s going to be okay.’”Her bosses suggested she call Jeff Zucker, former CNN president, who was treated for colon cancer decades earlier and had kept in touch with Sidner.
