To think I’ll never have another relationship

[Oooooooooooooooooooh]

I’m 45. Single mum to DS12 and DD10. Diagnosed with cancer last summer. Chemo has left me bald, infertile, with hearing damage and tinnitus. I also have been left with severely impaired use of my hands and feet and need a stick, frame or wheelchair. I can’t even eat properly or write anymore.

I then had major sternotomy and resection two weeks ago, leaving a whopper of scarring.

I’d like to think the prospect of love isn’t going to be ever elusive now. But I can’t see it. AIBU to think no man is going to want me?

Relationships are not the be all and end all of life. I've had quite a few times in my life where I've felt I've overcome so much that there isn't a man alive who deserves me anyway!

Lovey, I’m a raddled old occasional wheelchair user. Was recently sitting in a coffee bar while by grown up daughters got the drinks and got chatting to a very, very nice man who was also an occasional wheelchair user.

I hold my hand up, I had a bit of a harmless flirt and we had a bit of a spark but I have my lovely DP at home. Cheered me up no end though to think someone else could still find me attractive.

There’s someone for everyone.

you may or may not but if I were you I'd surround yourself with lovely friends and family and you'll never need a man. Some of the most fulfilled people I know are single. You've been through a lot OP, take the time to focus on you and your needs. They're overrated IMO!

My mum is the same with cancer scars, but she found somebody really fun, good looking who we all like ten years younger than her, getting married soon.
