I’ve been on medical recovery since late September and I still have a ways to go. 2x cancer patient, and I already had melanoma taken care of, now there’s a cancer on my adrenal gland that my docs are focusing on right now. I’m about to start medication for it this Thursday and there’s a myriad of side effects that I’m trying to prepare for. It’s nerve wracking, but I’m hopeful that it’ll do its job.
It sucks that have to put my dating life and many other things aside right now. It gives me anxiety thinking about when I’ll get back into it, but I know I have to focus on my health right now. I just kinda wish I had someone in my corner to help support me through this. It’s a lot to handle by myself 🙁
Even when I do go back, I’m pretty sure I’m going to forget everything I knew about flirting, as I haven’t even thought about going out/approaching someone/asking someone out. It feels kinda weird now thinking about my story and how that’s changed now with my medical diagnoses. It’s just a lot to think about and it’s kind of overwhelming. Sometimes I wonder if this will keep me on the bench for the rest of my dating life.
