Hello @Katie1985, thank you for sharing what you've been going through. Navigating relationships when you're dealing with a serious diagnosis can be challenging. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you.
Hi everyone, how are you today?
Can you relate to what @Katie1985 is feeling? Do you think it's hard to meet people when you have cancer? How do you navigate romantic relationships?

We’ll not sure what is being addressed here…. Ovarian cancer or getting involved romantically with a cancer diagnosis. I was diagnosed in 1971 with ovarian & survived. And a relationship is not real high on my priorities.

Hi, I've just joined so I hope it's ok that I post here.
I'm newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer and from what I've heard and read it looks like I'm in for years of treatment. I'm 36 and I don't have a partner or children.
Apparently the chances of recurrence and metastasis are pretty high, especially in the next few years. And then, if I get through this, I will likely not be able to have children, or if I still can, it'll be hard or complicated.
Just before I learned about all of this I joined a dating app... Yesterday, someone on the app messaged me and we chatted a bit. Then a lot of questions went through my head. Is it right to bring someone into this mess? Is is right for me to love and be loved right now? Am I selfish for wanting a 'normal' life?
Does anyone else feel like this? Have you been here? I feel like I'm spiraling with all of this.
