Summary
I'm joined by a man who shares his experience fighting cancer throughout his 20s. He discusses how it's impacted his dating life and his social life, how he navigated ending things with someone he started dating in remission as his cancer came back, how he feels about the possibility of putting himself out there to date again, when and how he would approach discussing his medical history with a potential partner, and more.
