    I really dont know how I’m going to end up feeling about this. I definitely think it’s better to be honest and upfront. For yourself as much as the other person, better to find out now that the cancer is an issue for the other person than later. It does surprise me that it would be that much of an issue though and I find it particularly heartbreaking to hear about relationships ending during cancer treatment. Dealing with illness is part of our shared humanity, we will all get sick eventually so why run from it? Why not stick together??
    I haven’t dated in quite a while. A 13 year relationship had just ended before I was diagnosed and I’m sure trying to again is going to be awkward to some degree no matter what. I want to think if I put myself out there something will happen though so I’m just going to try to be open and not worry about bumps in the road..
