It happened during chemo, too. I convinced myself that I needed to be with another cancer survivor. I found it incredibly hard to date. I decided to ditch the dating apps and focus on understanding my new normal, which cancer patients face post-chemo.
Eight months later, I met a guy at a bar when I was with friends. His name is Adam, and he is one of the most amazing things to happen to me since I was diagnosed with cancer. If I could tell my pre-, during-, and shortly-after-cancer self one thing, it would be to let life flow and not take dating too seriously. Practice self-love and own your insecurities. After we were together for six months, Adam asked me to marry him. And I said YES! I used to think I needed to end up with someone who had faced the same struggles I had. But the balance and support I receive from someone who has never been directly affected by cancer is beautiful.
If I could give survivors and patients one piece of advice, it would be to never sell yourself short because of your disease. The right person will understand you and love your scars.

I know exactly what you mean. I've had a lot of relationships not work out mostly because of my cancer. I know it is a lot to handle and I think that dating someone who is going through the same will be a better option. I will def try out some of these sites. If any of you girls really want a relationship with a decent guy with peripheral neurophaty please message me on the internal mail service here on CSN. It gets awful lonely I met an amazing guy off the cancer website while I was going through chemo but as soon as I got done and found out my counts were normal he decided not fair for me to be ok and him still sick.
Broke my heart and I wonder if I will ever be "normal" enough for someone to want to love me or if I will be able to open myself up to that again. I wish everyone the best of luck, we all deserve to be happy and loved with or without our cancer.
After the broken pieces do you start all over? I live in Kentucky and not looking for a date. I just need advice on how to even begin to dream about a future. Not to long after my diagnosis, my marriage of 11 years ended, I understand being broken, I asked myself the question, how many broken pieces can I become, who would put me back together again?
I just realize I have to live in the present moment, live in the now, become the best me right now, and not worry about what will happen in six months, or a year. I know if I do my best right now, I'll be where I want to be in six months. No need for anxiety, no more need for it. I'm trying to find ways to meet someone also. I'm so lonely, I just want someone to talk to who will understand what I'm going through. I know about being broken into pieces, I just live in the present moment now. I just want to be able to love again.
I'm in NYC if there's any women out there from my location, I could really use a friend, it would be nice to have someone to talk too, someone to encourage, and for them to be an encouragement to me. I live in uk but if you want you can text me anytime you want. Be strong and you will see that you will find someon!!!
