missmarple Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm going to meet George on Saturday afternoon. We also exchanged phone numbers tonight. He seems like a nice guy. We'll see in 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthDallas40 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hang in there and stay strong MissM, and congrats on starting the path to quitting smoking! Aside from your health, appearance and personal smell, imagine how your dating pool could expand! And by the way - I just shaved my head five days ago. Great dating journalist minds think alike!

John John Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 As a guy who has dealt with a mother who has had cancer for the past twelve years, I really feel for you. I had to watch her become bald several times from chemo over the years. But it grows back, and she's still here, for better or worse. I know you will get through this. Hang in there MM. My heart goes out to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinventmyself Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am glad you are keeping your date. Life goes on! and so will you. Good luck with the chemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmarple Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 George was nice and I had a good time. I did get tired (still haven't recovered from the surgery + chemo) but I enjoyed being out and talking about general stuff. He was polite, paid for my coffee and said we'll talk and meet again..which I'd also like. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janut1 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 George sounds pretty promising for sure! Glad you went and had a good time. Im sure you do get tired easily. Your body needs time to heal and process the new drugs, etc! Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmarple Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 It's been over a week since the first chemo session and apart from some minor pain I've been better than I expected...considering I'm still recovering from surgery, too. I've gained some pounds (not good..lol) as I constantly feel like eating sugar..I don't know if it's a side effect from the chemo. At least I've eliminated salt almost completely (I was never a fan though). Still no effect on my hair but I imagine next week there'll be some loss (I was told the main loss is during the first and second session). Re. George, we've kept in touch with a message here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WithLove Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I know what you mean regarding sugar. It's so incredibly hard to give up. It sucks! I'm glad you're feeling okay, though. We're always thinking of you; happy to read about your progress, MM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmarple Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I had the second chemo session today and it was much better than the first one, it only lasted for 2.5 hours and I feel fine. Re. George, we haven't met again but we message each other daily..which is fine for me at this point. My hair has been falling like crazy and I'll start wearing my wig (it looks better than my own hair ever did..lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmarple Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 After 2-3 weeks of back and forth messages with George, I got bored and stopped texting him...not in the middle of a convo, I just didn't initiate any more. He didn't text me, either, for about a week and today he sent an SMS asking how I'm doing. I didn't reply at all...no reason to. In other news, I 'managed' to get a cold. It lasted for about 5 days with fever, runny nose and everything...not the best thing to happen at this point. I took some antibiotics that turned out to be very strong and gave me a belly ache (still recovering from that) but, at least, the fever dropped and I won't miss the next chemo session (it's next week) which was my biggest fear.

luminousone Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Stay strong, MM! Too bad about George, but you don't have energy to spare nurturing a friendship/relationship right now. I do say I am impressed that he didn't run off once you were diagnosed. That says a lot about his character. Poor guy is going to wonder if you are still alive...

missmarple Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 I had the 3rd chemo session this week...3 more to go. It went very well and for the next blood tests my doctor didn't ask for any cancer markers. Thank God, it all seems to be going fine. Re. online dating, I've talked to a couple of guys and wasn't impressed. The last one who seemed promising when I told him that my favourite season is winter he said 'I hope that doesn't mean you're cold in bed' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
