Has anyone else given up on dating during cancer treatment?

Taking a break from dating during treatment is completely understandable, and prioritizing your own well-being right now shows real wisdom. Unfortunately, dating apps can attract people who lack empathy or try to take advantage of others, but please know that these experiences don't reflect your worth or what you deserve in a relationship. Many people in this community have found that focusing on their health journey first actually helped them build stronger connections later when they felt ready.

God loves you

Patience,you do you first get healthy , the rest will happen and you’ll find your knight in shining armor,

I know...

Your right the guys a perk sounds like your good judgment is still in tack its about you not the jerks and scammers when I found out I had cancer stage 4 my girl of 15 years left and yesterday my dr told me im cancer free gods good and just remember you are too

You do you. Internet date sites suck. Try talking to someone at your oncologist appt. See if you have similar concerns to help each other, don’t have to be about sex, others will understand

My oncologist appointment is one on one. I give up finding anyone.

Yes the Dr is one-on-one, but Have conversations with people while you are waiting to see the Dr in the lobby. Not saying you will find a soul mate, you might find someone who needs as much “help” as you do AND understand the situation. If you are looking to find that soulmate, everyone is in the same boat to find the person who accepts you. And you will find the “players” as everyone does. You are valuable. Only best wishes!!!

I'm not looking for a soulmate right now. A part of me wants to be alone. I don't want to be a burden. I just want to be alone and after this is done maybe I'll look. I had a soulmate. He died August 27 2022 from colon cancer. I never left his side. He died in my arms ... I never thought I'd be on this side. I don't want this club.... I'll fight this and won't get it again!!! Fk cancer

Am sorry to hear the story of your husbands struggle. A person who wants to be around you will not think of you as a burden. It is OK to be alone, sometimes a little help is a welcome respite. No one thinks they will have this burden. Do fight, you can be angry, just don’t live in that state, and Fk cancer. Are all good attitudes. I am glad to hear you are looking to fight.

I enjoy the family entertainment I have at church they are brothers and sisters of faith we all look after each other!

First of all,your re right the guy was a jerk and there are a lot of scammed just be cautious also im sorry about your soul mate that is so sad and must be a terrible loss you are going to kick cancers ass sending thoughts and prayers

Wats MEANT FOR ME, will find me. Same 4 u! Be patient. 🫶

I had given up with being with someone. Difficult as I am 69 yrs old, have cancer, a bad heart, and truthfully I did not want the burden anyone with my stuff. HOWEVER, without trying, I met someone my age and it is beautiful. I do have guilt for allowing her into my mess of a life.....she knows it all and yet decided to stay. BLESSED

How very cruel…don’t you think you’re better off without him? I’ve met many people in chemo…
