This is Steph.
Steph has Stage 4 Lymphoma—a rare, aggressive type known as ALK-ALCL. What started as a wheezy cough and a seemingly unrelated bump on her forehead quickly snowballed into a life-altering cancer diagnosis and months of intensive chemotherapy.
So far, the chemo seems to be working. And—as anyone can probably imagine—the day-to-day realities of those treatments, compounded by the uncertainty that lies ahead, have been hell. There is still a long road forward with more chemo treatments, hopefully a stem cell transplant, and—if everything goes right—years of scans and walking on eggshells.
But through all that, Steph has maintained hope and her biting sense of humor. Which is why, when we couldn’t find a “F*ck Cancer” shirt that suited her style, we decided to create our own. The result is three designs that reflect her and her loved ones. Even those who aren’t exactly fond of expletives—hence the “fudge cancer” alternatives.
We also included versions without “#teamsteph” so that anyone impacted by cancer can enjoy the designs.
This shop is meant to give people a way to show their support with Steph’s style of humor and levity. All profits will go toward her medical expenses and recovery needs. Thank you for being part of #teamsteph.
