Hi Bubbles 

hope you are well

After I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and had it removed (all clear) I finished a relationship as I could see how hard it was for partner at the time. She was great at the time before the op coming to appointments and supporting me but I didn't want it to end up bitter, we are still good friends.

so after I looked at dating sites and if any were specific for cancer patients and there were none, so I thought about setting one up and I went to nearly everyone but they turned me down.

I don't think it's a slightly strange topic, I do feel it still has legs.

I agree I think it is something which could work.

From my point of view it is avoiding that agonising conversation with someone who has never had cancer about why my body does not look as it did (right breast mastectomy, I am awaiting a reconstruction) - how do you explain it? I have no clue.

I think I have managed to develop a slightly "ice maiden" image now which is the opposite of what I used to be like because I guess I subconsciously sabotage any potentially romantic opportunity before it gets anywhere near these kind of honest conversations..........................
