    My oncologist said I will be on chemo for the rest of my life. I am single and I'd like to date. I've met two women who married after being diagnosed with MBC, but both divorced. I'd love to hear any positive stories about dating and romance and how you met men and when you told them, especially if they stuck around!

    I started dating again over the summer and have met several men.  If we went of more than 3 dates I would tell them about my cancer and explain it off as a chronic disease. For me it comes up because I am on disability, everyone wants to know what you do so I tell them that I currently take care of my grandkids while my son and his wife work, which is true.  If we go on more than 3 dates them I will explain to them that I have been dealing with this disease since 1998 (which is when I was first dx with BC) and that it is a chronic illness that I have been dealing with off and on since then.  The few men I told had no problem with it and asked me out again but unfortunately I am not seeing any of the men I told right now.  I am still trying to date and hope to find someone special, I only wish I would have started looking 10 years ago, that is a lot of years I spent alone that I didn't have too.

    Hi ladies!

    Dating for me hasn't been successful as I have found difficulty knowing when to disclose the info. I am single, 37 with no kids. I am still meeting men who still want kids, so I no longer entertain it. I don't want to walk this journey alone, but I am wondering if I will find someone strong enough to take this on.
