After being single about 8 years, I recently married a beautiful, amazing woman who also happens to be living with cancer (we've been married 45 days!). Her dating profile mentioned "serious health problems," and at our first date, after an amazing 2+ hour conversation and the strongest connection I've ever felt on a date, she told me that she was living with stage 4 breast cancer (stage 1 dx 2011, stage 4 2014). I told her I wouldn't treat her any differently than anyone else because of this, and I didn't. We waited longer than either of us normally had to become intimate, not because of body issues but because we wanted to make sure the connection we had wasn't artificially influenced by sex. Turned out we're more compatible than anyone else we've ever been with - we just like the same things - which is a nice cherry on top of her being the smartest, funniest and most extraordinary woman I've ever met.
So - she had already been living with the aftermath of her surgeries for a while when we met, and had been in a couple other dating relationships. She had the expected anxiety about possible rejection due to body issues. We talked about it before ever having sex - things like reduced sensitivity in some spots, etc. These were just things to work around; speedbumps, not roadblocks.
I'm telling you the above just so you know it's not impossible to find love in your situation. It is also possible to just find a hookup if that's what you were after. She was afraid she wouldn't find someone that wanted to be with her due to her prognosis - but she is the love of my life, and I don't care how long it is, I want to be with her every moment that we can.
The book below is one that she read that helped her get back into the dating world after her surgeries, and she highly recommends it.
