8 honest, funny & cheeky cancer cards that actually say what you mean

8 honest, funny & cheeky cancer cards that actually say what you mean

Finding the right words when someone you love is going through cancer isn’t easy. The usual lines..."stay strong,” “you’ve got this”  can feel hollow. That’s why we created the Breast Intentions card range in collaboration with Ali Clarke.

These are cancer cards with humour, honesty and heart. They say the things others won’t, help break the silence, and give your loved one something to smile about on the hardest days. And with every card sold, you’re supporting Cancer Council SA.

Here’s your guide to the full Breast Intentions card collection:

1. “Here’s a list of things I’m not going to say to you”

Forget the clichés. This card is a refreshing reminder that your support doesn’t need to come with a motivational quote.... just honesty.

2. “RIP Lefty – Gone too soon…”

Dark humour? Absolutely. But sometimes laughter is the only way through. This card is for the mate who finds comedy in the chaos and will appreciate the honesty behind the joke.

3. “Sorry to hear that you’ll have to eat hospital food”

We all know hospital food is tragic. This one makes light of the not-so-glamorous side of treatment, and gives your loved one a laugh about the little things they’d rather not deal with.

4. “Sometimes life gives you lemons when all you wanted was to keep your melons”

Cheeky, punny, and impossible not to grin at. This card delivers solidarity with a wink, making it perfect for someone who appreciates a boob joke served with a whole lot of love.

5. “You always had to be the centre of attention, didn’t you?”

Cancer might be hogging the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean you can’t call it out. This playful card is ideal for the friend who’s never been shy of being centre stage.

7. “Cancer’s a bitch. Luckily, you’re a bigger one”

This is not for the faint-hearted. It’s for the tough cookie in your life...the one who fights with grit, sass, and a healthy amount of swear words. The kind of card that makes them nod and laugh because yep, it’s true.

8. “Sorry to hear about your tits”

This is Unseasoned Greetings at its cheeky best... a clever pun with a pair of tits (the birds!) front and centre. It’s bold, it’s funny, and it’s guaranteed to spark a grin. Perfect for the friend who doesn’t want sugar-coating, just a bit of clever wordplay to lift the mood.
