Hi Desiree. I totally understand what you are going through. My boyfriend and I split up in January. I was diagnosed in May. I actually tried to get back with my ex because I felt like I would never meet anyone new with my diagnosis, and wanted the “familiar”, but would have just been settling as well. We didn’t get back together. I joined a dating site, and have met a few people, but like you said dating is so much different when you have cancer and are going through treatment. I’m going through chemo and have very little hair left. So I feel I have to tell the person up front about the cancer, then about going through treatment, and then about hair loss. Not to mention not having much energy to do things or appetite to go out to dinner. I have alot of female friends, but miss male companionship and just someone to sit on the couch with their arm around me telling me it’s going to be ok…..
