Behind every joke is a deep truth

Each punchline links to a short commentary that breaks down the real story underneath — the overwhelm, the fear, the financial chaos, the emotional whiplash, and the systems that fail you.

About the author, Pete

When I was in the thick of my own stage-four lymphoma battle, I learned that cancer isn’t just brutal — it’s bizarre. The scans, the bills, the side effects, the well-meaning-but-unhinged advice…it all felt like a cosmic joke. Humor became my lifeline. Laughing didn’t erase the pain, but it helped me stay human.

My philosophy is simple: cancer is deadly serious, but your spirit doesn’t have to be. Humor is a rebellion — a way of saying, “You can take my hair, you can take my energy, but you don’t get to take my joy.” These jokes are my attempt to help you find a little light, a little levity, and a reminder that even in the hardest moments, you still get to feel like you.

What’s Evolvv Health?

Evolvv Health is a survivor-led navigation and coaching practice built on a simple belief: you deserve clarity, support, and a sense of humanity through one of life’s hardest chapters. We help you sort out the chaos — the grants, the financial aid, the logistics, the paperwork, the decisions — so you don’t drown in the system while trying to heal.


But more than that, we honor the whole experience: the fear, the courage, the absurdity, and yes, the humor. Healing isn’t only scans and appointments; it’s moments of relief, connection, and remembering you’re still a person with a heartbeat and a sense of humor. You don’t have to face this alone — and you don’t have to do it without a little lightness along the way.
