What if u knew someone had stage 4 cancer would u take the risk of dating them and falling in love knowing that there maybe a very good chance they are going to die sooner then later?


Date? No

Be in a relationship? Only if the cancer developed while we were together, I wouldn't enter into a relationship with them.

For you to ask this question...tells me that it's probably not a good idea to date him.
The love of my life just died from stage 4 cancer...and yes in my arms Queene. If I had it to do over again...I would in a heart beat..why? Because he was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Is my heart breaking now? Of course it is "Big Time" Yet he showed me that no matter how long we have on this earth? The kind of love we shared was priceless. flowerforyou


he showed you the world through his heart and soul
instead of giving diamonds
100% agree never give up on a person due to health if a person gives up then they don't truly love them for all cause even when people marry its in sickness and health its for better or worse and works both ways and if anyone has a true heart and honestly cares stick with them till the end ,God bless Cheersflowerforyou


so cheer if you had met someone like me that had a issue with there kidneys would you not back away and be emotionally supportive towards them

I have to agree with Totage than no I would not date a person with stage 4 cancer.

Sure. Why not? I gotta say, ill people are always less likely to take love for granted. That's why i'd trust them more, over a partner who goes about life quite ignorant. Ill people teach themselves to appreciate life. flowerforyou

Don't think i'm saying it out of sympathy. It just wouldn't be fair to think you're any less worthy of love, all cos you have cancer. I say the same for disabled people, blind people, etc.

hard part is that i am his nurse. We had a mild disagreement so now he is backing away cuz hes afraid its going to be weird when he come in for chemo. The problem is that i am just scared and have realized how much i care for him yet i tend to push people away i care for. So now he is doubting things even though we both know how great we are together and our feelings are so strong.


dolphin14, you are talking about violating professional ethics by crossing a professional boundary. How do you think your superiors at work would react if you were to date one of your patients? If you did not already know your patient before he became your patient, then you would be risking losing your job.

[Personal note: My wife was a cancer patient. She died from complications that followed a stem-cell transplant.]

No, I definitely wouldn't start a new relationship with someone in stage 4 cancer. But if I was already in the relationship (as I have been) I would be there for them until the end.
