Dating again ???

Hi, I have just joined the group. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last September. Had lots of treatments  thrown at me & I'm doing really well.

I'm on my own and have been for a few years, my children are teenagers doing their own thing, and I think I'm ready to start dating again, but I'm a bit scared, as I don't feel I'm the same person I used to be. War wounds and not as agile as I was... any tips please ? I've tried the normal dating sites before I was ill, and just found idiots on there. (Sorry) - Thankyou 

  • Hi I do understand they all seem to be idiots on there lol,I had bc had 6 months of chemo then an operation,9 sessions of radiotherapy now I'm on chemo tablets for another 8 months.I think I'm going to give dating a miss for now,don't be scared at all you are the same person look at it as a blip in your life,get back out there you are a strong women and have been through a lot now is the time you have for yourself,make the most of it.

  • Thank you for your reply. I've had a lumpectomy back in September, with all lymph nodes removed under my right arm. Then 6 x chemo, 10 x radiation, now on targeted therapy every 3 weeks until January. Numerous tablets too. I just find I spend a lot of time on my own ( with my beautiful dog too) and would like to meet someone, just to go out with occasionally for meals, day trips. Someone I could talk to about what I'm going through and gone through too. I lost my mum to covid in January and a that's had a huge impact.  I keep on going, and I'm so thankful I have another chance at life. I started back at work in may and that's helped, seeing people again and feeling like I've joined the real world again.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss,it's very difficult when you a parent.I'm also looking for that special person but can't seem to find any yet,it's good you have gone back to work it does help,just remember you get stronger each day,it does seem forever when you are having treatment or tablets but it does work,it just takes time and you will find that special person x
