S3-EP5: Dating While Diagnosed

As we go through cancer survivorship, we will encounter people who will say awkward or inappropriate things even if they're coming from a place of concern or just wanting to connect.

Is dating possible even with a health diagnosis? When is the right time to date? Should you mention "cancer survivor" on your online dating profile? Should you talk about it on the first meet up? When is the right time to open up?

In today's ep, I'll pep talk you on how to get out of that depressive funk. Got any questions, reactions or suggestions? Or share how you resonate? Hit me up at www.jaymeewins.com or email me at [email protected]. :)

Bargaining... the third stage of emotion that goes with a diagnosis is all about questioning if there was something you should've, would've, or could've done to not get cancer.
