Hi bubbles,

Yes strange topic indeed. I was married for nealy 34 years,  A month shy of our 34th wedding anniversay before my wife was take away by bowel cancer in July 2020. I'm 60 years old and have liver cancer. I know what my outcome will be within  the next couple of years.  I was holding her hand when she died, and I know I'll be holding it again soon.

So sorry to hear about your wife.  And also about your liver cancer.

I hope the coming years are gentle with you.   34 years is an amazing length for a marriage - really quite rare now-a-days.  I admire you.  (I was married for 14 years which is a tiny duration in comparison).

Wishing you well 

Bubbles

Hi Bubbles11!

I have terminal cancer, I was in a 13yr relationship my husband left me last year, I would love to go on some dates, try and meet a nice guy! Its hard because I feel ill never feel love again.

I know the feeling. I have myeloma which at present is said to be incurable yet treatable. I also walk with a stick (long distances due to neuropathy in feet ) When I was diagnosed 6 years ago I was in a 4 year relationship.  My ex couldn't handle it and we parted ways  . She said it wasn't down to my cancer but I think she didn't have the heart to say it outright. Initially I resigned myself to remaining single for ever. (Stigma, loss of confidence with women) Now I am hopefully that I may meet à companion after having a couple if dates via a website.
