Finding Love Later in Life

When should I share my cancer history with someone I am dating?

  • Most people want to hear about a cancer diagnosis after a few dates
  • In one study, only 2-5% of the 593 people surveyed about when to share this information wanted to learn about it BEFORE the date took place
  • Take-away—share superficial and personal disclosures first, during initial dates, and then decide if you feel comfortable (and safe) talking about your cancer experiences
