Cancer Humor - Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it!

O.K. Let me start off by saying I hate to come across like I am hocking stuff, but here it goes...

My name is Ryan Armbrust. In December of 2006 I was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I went through 10 months of chemo, good times, and finally had a clean PET Scan October 1st 2007.

While taking time off from my day job I created an online t-shirt shop, http://www.chucklenutshirts.com

I have a section that is nothing but off-color cancer shirts and such. There are enough "Feel Good" cancer shirts out there, I wanted to offer something more edgy and hip for the "Hipster" cancer patient. Currently my best seller reads, "Hey Cancer, you picked the wrong Bitch".

I am donating a portion of each sale to different Cancer related charities. I am trying to spread the word about my cancer shirts. The more sales I can make, the more money I can donate.

I am not the type of person to sit back and take life as it comes. I figure, if things are out of my control, I am not going to worry, instead, I am going to have fun with it. I hope others do the same.

Best,
Ryan Armbrust

At the risk of sounding irreverant, at least having cancer gives me something else to joke about!! I think my loved-ones are finally getting used to all the jokes....?; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks again,

At this time I am only selling them through my online store.

You live in Louisville? Small world.
Best of luck with finishing your treatments. Drop me a line sometime if you need someone to talk to.; ▶ Reply to This
