    "comment": "From Jen in Lynwood, WA:\n\nIt was early 2020 and I had a two month old baby and the world  was in utter chaos due to the pandemic. That's when I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I honestly didn't know what to do. I was so scared and in so much pain. I couldn't sleep because of all the steroids so I started watching \"Tales from the loop\" late at night. The song \"on the dark end of the street\" by James Carr was in one episode. I became obsessed with the song. There were times when the only way to easy my pain was to belt it out at the top of my lungs while rocking my new baby. Although the song has nothing to do with cancer, it really helped me express my pain, in the only way I could. Being on chemo during a pandemic is such a scary and isolating time, especially with a newborn. I made it though and have been cancer free for almost 5 years and now my silly little girl loves listening to KEXP with her mommy.",
