Well, I have children but they have decided to hate me for getting cancer .....no boyfriend, no husband, friends won't talk to me much anymore, had to get rid of my cats when I moved to a small apartment.....do I qualify???? I think this might be one of those cases where "I don't want to belong to a group that will accept me as a member"!!! LOL.....

I'm single and most of the time, content with that...but it took alot to accept that I needed my Mom to come take care of me from 3,000 miles away when I got cancer. I felt sorry for myself at first. Then I started blogging and realizing that I have alot of people in my circle that want to be supportive. And while not the same as a partner, it's been amazing to learn to accept love and support from so many.

I've heard a bunch of stories here and other places of people who had their partner totally flake out on them when they got cancer...so I guess that is worse!

Of course, now that I am done with treatment and getting back to health, all I want is some sexual healing and now I am really wishing for that safe trusted person to be there for me.

Thanks for making this group. It's good to connect with other Lone Rangers!

Friends are fabulous but the thought of never being intimate with anyone again in heart wrenching!!! I live in a small town and gossip travels fast so EVERYONE knows that I have cancer... I used to have quite a few men asking me out....now no one has the time a day for me... It hurts... I miss having someone in my life...my partner of 6 years left when I started to get sick (before I was actually diagnosed, but sick enough to know something was wrong). I spent 2 years getting over that and just got back into the dating scene when I was diagnosed...now I guess I'm out of it again...but not by choice....
Kind of makes me want to move and hide the fact that I have cancer..

Don't hide Lori- I have a friend who has been ill too with CFS it is a nice easy friendship. We both don't want to get hurt and really just share our love of art. It is very natural. Also it is nice to do things occasionally with a nice man.

You never know what might happen Lori.
