Gee - you go girl!!!

Wow. Based on your experiences, I would bring it up at the earliest opportunity! That way you don’t waste time on someone who seems great, but turns out to be a jerk about your breast cancer. Good luck out there!

The one who said “ not a big deal “ he sounds unphased by it . If this was a first date he may have just said “ all women” without really thinking due to nerves etc. You can’t truly judge someone from a first meeting as many people can be nervous. I have a good friend . He is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Yet the first time I met him I though he was an absolute jerk . He didn’t even say hello. He probably said 2 lines the whole evening and I just saw him
As so conceited . Yet of all the men there that night he was the only one who asked to walk me to my Car to make sure i was safe .
Of all my male friends he is the one who is standing by me in my cancer journey.

It's tough out there, hugs. I was 38 and married with a new baby and several hospital nurses I knew were amazed that my husband *wasn't* leaving me given the aggressivenes of my BC.

Literally they would hear I had Stage 3 TNBC and a baby and say, "And your husband's still with you?!?" and then they would tell me of the instances they had seen women in similar situations left by their partners.

A husband who would leave his wife, because of breast cancer is a Grade A Jerk. But I wouldn't call a man, who is on a first date with a woman, a jerk, because he doesn't want a second date after learning she is dealing with breast cancer. At 60, he probably has had to deal with the death of parents, siblings, childhood friends, and, perhaps, his wife. He is just having to protect himself. Life isn't a Hallmark movie. It can be very complicated. I wish all of you, who are recovered, and bravely back out in the dating world, a loving person. I don't have the energy, physically or emotionally. I had my love.
