Dating

Hi, 

I'm 44 and was diagnosed last year with with grade 2 BC.  I'm currently having chemo and had been planning on waiting to complete treatment before starting dating.  I've got 3 more cycles to go and am tempted to get on a dating app now as I figured this is part of my life now so why waste any more time.  

Any help thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Wendy, your post here got me curious, I went through a rollerscoaster ride ...3 years back,  from the point of loosing my mother in Feb 22, theb got in to a new relationship,  thought it was going well, then by June 22 got diagnosed with Cancer... my partner was so good and supportive at the beginning....then she turned nasty and physically abusive towards me during my treatment.  3 weeks before my treatment was due to finish I had to get myself out of the relationship. You can imagine why... after almost 2 years , god bless, I feel I am in a better place mentally... Still finding it difficult to get in to a relationship, tried several dating sites... as soon I mention anything to with going through cancer... they seem to close conversations and ghost me. The worst is that I had some side effects from the radiotherapy which effected my speech a little. Life is too short to alone...wish you all the best and success in your search. Guess everyone has their own journey.

  • Sorry to hear your story Shaq 1025, but I don’t think it should deter you Wendy. There’s good and not so good everywhere, but in my 75 years I would definitely say I have found there to be far more good than bad. I feel that  there must be someone for everyone out there, though of course we must tread carefully when looking for a partner. I wish you both well, and hope you find that someone special. John
