Are there survivor sites that feature personal ads? I am an interested, single 14 yr. BC survivor.

Hi Jennifer - I've never heard of such a site; just the standard-type "dating/match" sites.... Can anyone out there help Jennifer? - PJH

Hey Jennifer,

Congratulations on 14 years of survivorship! Wouldn't this be great? A dating service for survivors! It would eliminate that whole awkward situation when the cancer topic evntually comes up by putting it out there up front. I don't know that service this exists; however, I do know that a relatively new organization, I'm Too Young for This (I2Y), does host social events and activities that seem to be well attended. The organization was developed for young adults (18-35) affected by cancer. Check out their web site (imtooyoungforthis.org) because if they don't offer events near you, they might have the type of resources you are looking for. Who knows, maybe they will start personal ads if you suggest it. Best of luck to you.
