I can't see why he would not have any success if this is what he is wanting - I can't answer your question as dating is not even in my mindset yet, but I am so pleased to hear of someone that is ready to continue living to the full extent given a terminal diagnosis.
If he is looking to enjoy his life, do some travelling and have companionship in the process just because he has Cancer this should not stop him for meeting a whole plethera of people.
He is never going to know until he justs takes that step, what has he to lose!!
You use Cancer in a conversation and people don't know what to say, you almost see their brain whirring as to how they can get away from the conversation as quickly as possible. Of course he might come across a few that suddenly excuse themselves and never to be seen again, but there is always those few that will see past it.
I just don't think his chances diminish just because of Cancer, he might not have a sense of humour and they run from that even quicker!!
Hi I am 45 and have a terminal diagnosis , I too can't find any dating sites for people with cancer , i found one but they are mainly American and the site is hard work to navigate .
I know , just because we are terminal doesn't mean we want to be alone !! I'm only 45 and who know s how long any of us have , we are not dead yet lol !
I am stage 4 and 37; I was dating someone last year and when I got my diagnosis he ran a mile. I was very hurt; although I got what he meant when he said he couldn't bear to lose me so he couldn't carry on seeing me as a love interest. In the year since diagnosis I have also seen a customer write my business' future off because of the diagnosis too. People can be ***.
I'd be lying if I said I was happy to jump back into dating; that experience put me off. But I accept I might meet someone in the meantime and it really is their choice if they want to stay or not. I might be surprised, who knows. In the meantime, I've enjoyed single life on my own terms.
Hi im hoping [@mare] doesn't mind me letting her know about this string, she's been there done that and probably got the tea shirt,you want to have a look at her story you might get some ideas .
I was diagnosed with lungs and liver mets at 44. I was married. My husband left.
I spend a few years alone and, as my daughter advised (she's so wise), I spent time learning to love myself again. Time was something I didn't expect to have. But I had a lot of fun with online chatting and I met a few lovely people (very safely in public places, and my daughter was always hanging on the end of the phone for me to ring her). One person I met turned out to be amazing! On our first date (six years ago) I came straight out with it that " erm...if we get on... I might only be a temporary girlfriend....." and he has stuck with me ever since. We got married in September last year.
It hasn't been easy for him. He says he finds himself building up self-protecting walls in his mind sometimes, especially before scan results I think. But he is my best friend and we are good together. And, ten years on from my "terminal" diagnosis, I'm still here..........
Learning how to love myself again was the most difficult part. I learnt how to take care of myself, how to comfort myself. I became self reliant again and, with that independence, my strength, self esteem and confidence returned. [Having said that, I still have difficult days- as you will all understand].
I am going through the same, my husband left me last year, dont think a man will see past my terminal cancer but i would love to be loved again and give love.
I am only 34 and hate thinking ill never have love again.
