Summary
On this Unfiltered episode, I'm joined by a 28-year-old man from Scotland who is dating for the first time in 12 years due to the chronic illness diagnosis he received when he was a teenager, accompanied by a cancer diagnosis shortly after. We hear what his journey has been like and how it's impacted his relationships, friendships, and mental health. He shares his fears surrounding putting himself out there and we hear how his 31-year-old brother who recently passed away helped give him the push he needed to get back into the dating world.
