Hey everyone, I am officially one month post treatment. I am swallowing more on a regular basis. Got rid of the spit cup and I able able to take ensure by mouth, applesauce, yogurt, and all my meds. It's not much but a start. Still have pain when I swallow. Though my obvious biggest concern is not getting a recurrence; I am also concerned about dating and finding love again. I was unfortunately getting over a break up from my fiance last year; we were suppose to get married May 16th 2009. Sometimes I wonder if the stress from the breakup caused my cancer to develop. Though the doctors say most likely the tumor was there for a while in my tonsils. Now that I have been diagnosed with cancer and am trying to survive this dreaded disease I worry that I may never find love again. I know know I won't be anywhere ready to try dating for at least another 6-8months; by then I will be closer to 40. I am so worried of being alone. I friends who care about me; but it's not the same as having someone to hold; soemone to rub your back at night. Someone to cuddle up with or hold hands and take long walks!! Has anyone been successful at dating and finding love after there diagnosis?
