Slightly strange topic - online dating with cancer

Hi

This is a weird one but if you have any thoughts I would be grateful to know them.  I was thinking about maybe joining a dating website (not entirely to do with romance although if that came along great but as much for company etc), but wondered whether anyone knows of a dating website for people who have cancer.  Not so I can spend all my days chatting about cancer with one specific person (who might also have cancer) but more so once the "C" topic comes along you know they might already be prepared for it and will not disappear asap!

any replies very gratefully welcomed

thank you

    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.
