A cancer diagnosis and chemo treatments are hard. Working and simply living within a pandemic is hard. Combine those two things together and it seems very nearly impossible. Those were the odds stacked against Jacob Webster when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer this August.

Webster, who goes by Webby because “there are a lot of Jacob’s,” bears few scars from his August bout with cancer save for a head of peach fuzz where his hair is trying to grow back. On campus he wears his trademark suits and is known by many as simply the “suit guy.”  He smiles and jokes and is willing to help anyone who needs it at a moment’s notice. It’d be hard to tell from just a glance the pain and struggle he endured earlier this year. 

This summer, as he prepared for his final year at Ferris studying manufacturing and engineering technology, his plans came to a sudden halt.
