32. Dating After Breast Cancer

  • Summary

  • Dating after breast cancer can be a daunting experience, especially if you are struggling with feeling confident in your body and worried about how you will be accepted by a potential partner.  

    In today's episode, I break down what I have learned about dating in a post-pandemic world in a post-mastectomy body.  

    A few topics I cover: 


    -How apps can take some of the awkwardness out of telling a new potential partner about your cancer history

    -The advantages and disadvantages of meeting new people on the apps vs. in real life

    -How to know when you "are ready to get back out there"

    -The self-care tools I used to help boost my confidence 

    -The benefits of sharing your experience and supporting yourself with single friends

    ...some of the most surprising moments I've had, some of the sweetest moments I've had, and one of the lowest moments I had regarding dealing with other people's reactions to my history as a breast cancer survivor.

    At the end of the day, dating TRULY can be FUN...even as a cancer survivor.  Being more vigilant about enforcing my boundaries and also being more open, honest, and direct about how to handle my post-cancer body with care has actually been incredibly empowering.  I hope the same for you too!
