"Tig Notaro was 41 when she received a life-altering diagnosis in 2012: stage 2 cancer in both breasts. But because it arrived on the heels of a string of devastating events a series of unrelated health problems, the unexpected death of her mother, and a breakup it didn't deliver the immediate emotional gut punch one might expect. It was a little..., she says, pausing for the right word, confusing when I was told I had invasive cancer."
The Independent covers major U.S. issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and requests reader donations to fund reporters on the ground. The outlet investigates financial activities such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' that focus on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent maintains free access by foregoing paywalls and asks supporters to contribute if able. Tig Notaro was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 41, underwent a double mastectomy, has been in remission since September 2017, and produced Come See Me in the Good Light, chronicling the final year of Colorado poet laureate Andrea Gibson, who died in July.
