Desiree,

I know I’m a bit late to the party, but…your instincts were right, your fiance was trash. Well done for kicking him to the curb. Anybody that says they love you, wants to get married and do the whole “in sickness and in health” thing then emotionally nopes out at the first sign of “sickness” wasn’t worth your time to begin with.

And yeah, dating sucks at the best of times, and scars and missing hair and chemo farts (what, just me?) definitely don’t help that, but you got every woman’s dream right now.

Blonde? You’ve done that. Do it BIGGER.
Brunette? Why not?
Redhead? Bring out your inner Irish!

Or maybe take that shiny dome of yours and rock the Sinead O’Connor. Natalie Portman did it in “V For Vendetta”. Sigourney Weaver did it in “Aliens”. Half the female cast in “Black Panther” were bald, and those were some badass ladies.

Hey, life has handed us all a shite hand on here, but in my experience, you can either let it break you or you can find a way to grab it by balls and twist it into working for you (try mentioning it in your dating profile followed by “no long term relationships”. Trust me, it’s bound to at least get you a few laughs).

Stay strong and look for ways to make your cancer work for YOU.
