Go, dad!

Being diagnosed as cancer-free is absolutely something to celebrate, so why not honor this milestone with a new outfit to go with a new outlook?

MacKenzie posted photos of her father Ronnie, who received his remission diagnosis after battling stage four non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, wearing the coolest "Straight Outta Chemo" t-shirt.

MacKenzie said she purchased the amazing shirt from a vendor on Etsy. "I had been holding onto the shirt for awhile but wanted to wait for confirmation from doctors and an opportune time," she said about gifting her dad with the shirt. "He loved it and couldn't wait to change and take some pics."

Ronnie looks like the ultimate winner with a great sense of humor to boot. The family recently made his 67th birthday extra special after he triumphantly finished his last round of chemotherapy on Feb. 21.

Lots of people on Twitter celebrated this special occasion with the family, granting well wishes to the rad dad and praising that great shirt.

When asked how her dad is reacting to his new internet fame, MacKenzie said, "My dad's a really humble man, so he's excited for the little fame, but more excited that people get to see our faith in the Lord. He's our ultimate healer. While we still do credit the medical staff that led us through this journey, we believe that The Lord has the final say."

This guy is one cool dad. Keep on celebrating!
