This is a very individual thing and what may be right for one person may not be right for another person. Essentially it is about what makes you feel comfortable. You may want to put it right out there on the profile that you have cancer in order to prevent having to reveal that at a later date or you may choose not to disclose any information about it at all, so really there is no right or wrong answer.

A few months before my friend passed away, she said that she was missing physical intimacy and the thrill of dating. We made a Hinge profile right then and there called ‘Terminally Delightful’. She put all the relevant details on the app, wanted her date to know exactly what they were getting and her reality of being terminally ill. She was so incredibly bold. When she did go on the date, she loved it. Though it wasn’t a love connection (hers came a few weeks later), going out, meeting someone new, being flirtatious, and also being very upfront with someone about her body and life, were incredibly energising for her. It’s obviously not the only method, but go get yours whatever feels more comfortable.
