Dating After Diagnosis: Awkward, Honest, and Sometimes Amazing

Navigating intimacy, vulnerability, and ghosting after cancer 🥴

In addition to this free weekly newsletter, I’ve started going a bit deeper and getting a lot more transparent over on Substack.

As much as I love sharing video content on TikTok and IG, some things feel a little toooo raw to share to the mass public (and my parents).

So…….I created a Substack a while ago to go to the places I felt too umcomfy to go on my socials.

This weeks’ post talked about all things dating, intimacy, vulnerability with new partners and dry vaginas. yup.

So here’s a little sneak peak and if you want to subscribe, you can find me HERE.

Dating After Diagnosis: Awkward, Honest, and Sometimes Amazing

No matter what age you are at a cancer diagnosis, if you are single and trying to navigate the already difficult dating world, adding ex-cancer patient to your laundry list of baggage, can be excruciatingly hard.

I remember crying to all of my doctors during treatment about the side effects of Lupron. No sex drive, a Sahara desert for a vagina, emotional instability, weight gain, AND the fact that I was 32 and in medical menopause. Are you kidding me???

Albeit my doctors managed to walk me off a cliff every. single. time. I still couldn’t believe that was my life.

How do I date? How do I act like a normal person in society when I’m not a normal person in society? How do I even come close to finding a partner who will accept my amputated boobs, low libido and feeling like reaching climax might be as tough as climbing Mt. Everest? Fuck.

The answer is….welp, I don’t have an answer but I sure as hell am trying to figure it out.

I’ve been dating and navigating the tough conversations, vulnerable intimate moments and really trying to love myself first. Am I perfect? Hell no. But I’m sharing a bit of my experience with you in hopes that it may also help you.
