If you met a guy you were absolutely crazy about, would you continue seeing him if you found out about a month into the relationship that he had cancer and a problem with impotency?
The cancer is one of the slowest-growing one and there is an 80% chance of recovery.... and the impotency can be cured, but might take a few months to do so.

I would pursue a relationship with him... as you said... the cancer and the impotency are curable, will only take a few months. This is at the beginning of the relationship where it's more favorable to go slowly with physical intimacy anyway.
Just don't become overly sympathetic towards his medical condition to the point of changing who you essentially are.
Wish you the best of luck..."The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

what the fuk are both of you talking about? cancer curable in a couple of months? cancer can kill in a couple of months. you need to be specific to the kind of cancer when you ask that shit.

i might give it a go but tbh i reckon i would get too frustrated after a while. it is an integral part of a growing relationship. its how people become closer and bond. but if you think you can handle then try it, but i wonder if it's possible at the beginning of a relationship..

dang, i asked the wrong person. well, those whom i know have died within 6 months after being diagnosed. i guess your side of the family has an ability to beat cancer.

Not really... quite a few of them have died along the way... but many were from years ago when cancer treatments weren't nearly so good... Originally Posted by Sonrisa

We just know cancer is prevalent in our family... so we check for it more often.. and thus are more likely to catch it in a early stage... when more options are available."The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

He has early stages of prostate cancer... although the impotency is because of anti-depressants.
Also, he is a recovering alcoholic and has been sober for 2 years.

what makes you want to be with him? what is so great about him that would make you possibly sacrifice future happiness?

I really like him (his personality) and am very attracted to him physically.
Yes, he has issues, but all seem they could be overcome in time.
