Dating with a terminal illness

Hi all.

A family member has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer, late 40's but is keen to still live his life, and date.

Has anyone managed to join any sites with success please? 

Thankyou 

  • Hi Jannie and everyone,

    Just came across this site and really touched with the sensitive responses.

    I too have a terminal diagnosis & struggling with the complexities of my relationship.

    Want to free up those close to me to get on with their lives and see themselves after my death..put thinks in place.

    Often wonder if it's better to go now and discover what's left of 'a bright new world' with folk who are facing what I am.

    Giving loving flight is never easy..but maybe the right way to travel.

    Good luck Jannie..my thoughts are with you.

  • Hi Legin,

    Thank you for your reply. It is so hard especially when you were so loved and miss it, I am doing well, my cancer has been stable so I haven't had chemotherapy since December! I hope you're doing ok.

     

    Kind regards

    Janine

     

  • Hi Jannie,

    That's good to hear..I've got the 'beast' under control for now...trailed a new drug for my cancer during lock down and although at some point it will stop working, until it does..I take that Roman poet's advice..'carpe diem' and try to seize the day whatever lifes complications are throw at me

    Good luck with the dating...and hope at least you find a friend or two along the way.

    Best to you

    Legin.

  • Hey Janine,

    I feel just the same way, I'm 44 and been a single dad most of my life, I feel like, who'd want a man with terminal cancer? It's brain cancer and there are no treatments so I seem outwardly fairly normal and well, so it's a subject of have to breach almost straight away and I'm afraid they'll just run a mile, we all want to feel loved and its something I'd love to feel again while I'm still here, but fear of the hurt stops me trying. I just need to find someone who values my kitchen skills over the problems my illness brings lol. I'm not holding my breath lol

    All the best, Ian
