Dating while in limbo

Hi im Fay. Im 27-year-old living with desmoplastic round cell tumor. It Feels like im the only one with this cancer. I can't seem to find that much information about it. it's very isolating. I know im no spring chicken but I'd like to date but I don't know how to navigate dating with this illness.  Or even go out. It's exhausting physically (side effects ) Don't get me wrong I've Been on dates but I feel like what's the point? Or I'll break it up by self-sabotaging. Is anyone like this? I feel so lonely living with this disease. Is like im stuck in limbo. Would be nice to hear if anyone has dated with cancer...ideally my age group or any. Especially on apps. It's Sad seeing everyone around me get engaged and pregnant or in a relationship and im indoors with my bald self. I can't catch a break.  Cancer sucks. 

  • Hi Fay,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    There is a website called CancerMatch, which may be of interest. You may also be able to find some like-minded groups on Facebook.

    Aside from this, hopefully this forum can be of some support to you, even if it is just a safe place to write things down and to reach out to others.

    Wishing you all the best,
