Hi Everyone! I am a 31 year old ovarian cancer survivor of 18 months. Cancer has forever changed my life but always have been and will always be an optimist during and after my treatment. On the other hand, dating has been hard for me since diagnosis. At my age, men wants children and being an OC survivor, having a biological child is not an option. I would love to meet other young cancer survivors and start dating again.
