Impossible to meet someone

I give up.

I have just read your message, please don't give up. 

I think that this forum isn't the best place to find a new relationship, as most people on here want to talk about diagnosis, support, etc. However, I think it would be a good thing if there was a chat room, or a place where messages could be sent to people who, just want to chat, not about cancer, but general topics, hobbies, or travel for instance. 

Hopefully, someone who runs this web site, will read your message, and open a new forum.

Take care.  

Same situation, I have no answers, but if something crops up for you let me know, I will also let you know of anything that pops into my mind, how about joining a club of something you're interested in , eg photography, nature, music, I bought a digital SLR and go out trying to take some good photos,  yesterday I was chatting to soemone who is doing this as a hobby, after reteirement, picking up tips etc

Hi Lucy Lou

There is actually a forum which has threads for hobbies, travel, books, TV, gardening etc.

It's the Living With Incurable Cancer forum. Obviously, the people who use this forum tend to join it, then stick around, so it isn't quite like the forums for specific cancers, where people tend to come and go quite quickly.

Firstly can I say how strong you are.

We can turn anywhere for help and friends but - you seem so so low - so at the moment will you let anything work for you

try this forum - i tried it and got to know lots of friends who talk about their life - career and a million other daft things

not just cancer - hope this message helps

PS tell us a bit about you - job - car anything - I hope it will help

we are all here for you without rubbing salt into wounds

take care look forward to reply xx 

I understand I was in a relationship with my gf for 12 years and I know this was a part of problem but it really sucks being alone right now but honestly with her towards the end I was more lonely with her than I am now but I don't trust websites for dating honestly I couldn't offer anything to a good woman but try to be honest and try to make her smile but I would love to meet someone but I want to be friends first I wouldn't want to really put anyone through this like that my burden but keep fighting and praying and if my soul mate is out there just never know 

Hi all

I'm Steph, part of the team who looks after the Online Community here at Macmillan. Thank you for supporting another member, although we are not currently looking at setting up a dating service for the Online Community.

Members anonymity and privacy is important to us here on the Community. There are alternative options for support if you're looking for face to face meet ups

I just wanted to let you know that we do already have forums for general chat, hobbies and pets etc. I'll list a few of those here for you in case you or others would like to join:

Express yourself forum 

Animals are family too

You are also very welcome to create your own threads to talk about your life outside of cancer in any of our forums.  For example, so forums host threads about gardening, or shared photos of nature/holidays etc

If you're interested in photography, you might be interested in joining our Autumn Spotting thread.

I hope this is helpful but please do let us know if you would like any further support with anything at all.

Hi

Im 52 and I was single during my diagnosis. I think everyone ‘dies’ off except us when cancer joins the party. My cat is the only one who has stuck with me through my journey. I also found a whole new relationship with Mother Nature so if you need a cuddle, go hug a tree. This may not be the love we are looking for, but love is here for you.
This will stop you looking for love and then love will come looking for you

Good luck on your journey

To tell you briefly. I've had to limit my expectations from life. And I wanted to share it with you. I feel compelled to share it with someone. You came across it, and maybe I want to share it with many people. But I wanted to share it with you. I'm emotionally worn out and wanted to share it with you. COVID-19. I've been vaccinated twice, and what happened to me after the vaccine. Lung cancer, lung surgery, thyroid glands, chemotherapy, diagnosis, respiratory tract stains, treatments continue. Heart attack, stroke, partial paralysis, prostate, multiple organ failure, dizziness, forgetfulness, anxiety, and I'm having trouble focusing. I'm on 18 medications. I'm experiencing different effects of the medications.

Hello

Yea I hear you…however you’re a pretty amazing person to have experienced all that and still be here. I am sorry that doesn’t help you right now but we get a new go at life every 24 hours so hereis to your tomorrow
