Hi @Joefarmer63

I'm sorry to hear about your cancer and admire the strength you are showing by fighting it as best you can. Finding companionship during such a tough journey can be challenging, but not impossible. Having someone to talk with and be with can help you to feel less alone during tough times - and maybe even provide moments of joy in amongst it all.

Perhaps someone here in the community can offer a suggestion as to what has worked for them to find a partner who is open and understanding of the cancer journey?

I am not aware of any dedicated sites for cancer patients trying to find partners. It could be that a regular site could be suitable if you position your situation up openly front and share where you are at. It will be interesting to hear from others.

Wishing you all the best,

Miranda
