There’s no way to predict when cancer will show up. CC Webster was in her prime, in her 20s, living in New York City and working at a large advertising agency when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. It turned her world upside down, she says, but also allowed her to see what was truly important and she saw the value in documenting her experience for others. The result was a book, “So, That Happened, A Memoir”. “I wanted to write and depict a story that was raw and honest and meaningful, and could potentially make somebody feel less alone,” CC says. “It’s okay that life doesn’t go to plan.”
