Sh*t Cancer Patients Say

A cancer patient named Woody Roseland put together a video called Sh*t Cancer Patients Say," a parody of the very popular series "Sh*t Girls Say," which has spawned a huge number of parodies and imitators online.

The premise of the "Sh*t ____ Say" videos is simple: in about 2 or 3 minutes, the videos show quick clips of whatever group is being parodied, saying things that members of that group usually says. Some of them are spot-on funny, some are mean-spirited, most rely on (sometimes unfair) stereotypes. Few are safe for work. But a lot of them are amusing. (Like this "Sh*t Boston Mothers Say" version -- but all of that does not include my own mother.)

Anyway, the Cancer Patients version was done by an actual cancer patient, while he was in the hospital for a chemo treatment. So some of it can be a little hard to watch. But the comments below the video show that it hits home for cancer patients, with lines like

•  "At least now I can stop worrying about getting cancer."
• "Oh, Benadryl, how I love you...." (I could relate to that one)
• "Wait til they hear about this on CaringBridge" (a blogging site for cancer patients -- I could relate to that one, too)
• "Breakfast burrito was a mistake..." (that one's a little graphic....)

So watch "Sh*t Cancer Patients Say" if you dare. But understand my admiration for Mr. Roseland, a young man who is facing his cancer bravely, head on with humor.
