I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma also five years ago, I would like to start dating again but I'm afraid. Has anyone started dating after a cancer diagnosis?

Dating after a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but many people in the community have successfully navigated new relationships while managing their health journey. Your feelings are completely valid, and taking time to consider when you're ready is important - connecting with others here who have similar experiences might help you feel more confident about this next step.

I was married for 30 yrs and found out I had rectal adenocarcinoma in 2021 .Well my then wife decided after I did the resection and chemo it was time to go our separate ways,and I agreed. Well let me tell you that I found my now wife of 3 yrs and I explained everything open and honest, she has my back 100% and everything opposite of my 1 st wife.So yes there are still amazing people out there so don’t be discouraged,we have done the trip through hell and back so who cares what others think and be selective but be open with everything.Your lobster is out there,just have to look.It will happen trust me .my lobster is Awsome and yours will be too! Keep us updated❤️

I need someone to hang with and hopefully become friends and more. I have stage 4 cancer and we think we have it stabilized. My wife of 19 years passed 3 months prior to my diagnosis just over a year ago. I’m so needing to go out and date and love again. I’m really craving to be social again. I am retired successfully and taking my 2 older sons for a 9 day vacation in Cancun. I have been down for a while with chemo and radiation so I’m doing better now that all that’s done .
