Hi Bubbles,

My name is mud lol (its a song by the band Primus) and I am 50

In 2018 I lost a lung to cancer and stumbled across your post today.

I was wondering how you got on with your search and if you had any advice for someone new to 'getting back out there'?

I used to be a singer/guitar player so my career on that front came to a rapid halt.

Although I am reminded of my 'loss' everyday I am determined now to get back on with my life as best I can and want to forget as much as possible about what has gone before.

That being said, I appreciate it is a part of my life and want to connect with people, not to discuss and talk about cancer, but people who I dont have to explain myself to too much about what Ive been through and how it affects me on a daily basis.

Anyways, I hope you are getting on well and found what you were looking for!

Best Regards

Mud

Hi MynameisMud,

Thank you for you reply, interested to hear about your music career and your cancer journey.

Hope you are still able to enjoy music in some way?

I agree about trying to look forward instead of dwelling on the cancer too much (to the extent that is possible!)

To be honest I have not really got anywhere on the online matching thing - I cannot see anything specific for cancer (and if there was I wonder whether that would be a good thing or a counter productive thing, I don't know - in some ways it might mean you do not have to "explain" things but on the other hand you want to meet them for reasons other than your cancer!)

I have not heard of the band you mentioned - I will google it.

Take care

Bubbles

Hi shame your having trouble finding someone to talk to . These strings get people talking to other people quite a few times, I've made a few friends on forum with talking on other strings ,try it see what happens you never know.

Hope things are going well apart from chatting take care keep safe and sound.

Morning.......

I have GBM4, grade 4 Brain Tumour. It probably would take me a week to talk about my "LIFE". I would like to talk/become a friend/partner of someone who needs SUPPORT. I was diagnosed 10/9/17, and I love my "LIFE". Why? I'm alive..... I have started YouTube with this ...... GBM4 - "UNIQUE LIFE". Why? I need to talk about my "LIFE", my psychology degree has helped A LOT, and I NEED FUN IN MY "LIFE"......... 

Be happy everyone, we will never get today back......
