As time went on, Davis says that she started to see humor in things all around her, and she began to write down the thoughts she was having during the experience.
“I had one eyelash,” she recalls. “And I thought ‘okay mascara, let’s go.’ It was one of those moments when I had to make myself laugh, because that’s how I was going to get through it.”
Davis ended up collecting over 50 thoughts, then reached out to her former advertising colleagues for help in illustrating a coloring book, which ended up being titled “Greetings From Chemo County.”
Then, her oncologist introduced her to Angela McCrum, the director of Northwestern Medicine’s LivingWell Cancer Resource Center. McCrum was immediately drawn to the project, saying that humor can be a powerful healing force.
