Price tweeted saying, "As a journalist, it’s been full throttle since the pandemic began. Never-ending shifts in a never-ending news cycle. She further says, "Adjusting to remote workflows and in my case, taking on a new investigative role. We were covering the most important health story in a century, but my own health was the farthest thing from my mind. Until a viewer emailed me last month. She saw a lump on my neck. Said it reminded her of her own. Hers was cancer."
