Woman Tells The Man She’s Dating She Had Cancer, And It Escalates Terribly

Instead of taking this story as a sign that humanity is devolving, think of it as proof that you’re its advanced counterpart. Vix from Canada was dating a guy, and everything seemed well. Until she decided to open up a bit more. You see, she had cancer, has been in remission for six and a half years now and even though she’s cured, the illness still casts a shadow over her. This confession, however, wasn’t something her date was expecting. And his reaction wasn’t something she was expecting, either. Basically, the guy demanded proof that he won’t catch it. And articles by the American Cancer Society, saying that cancer is NOT contagious weren’t enough.

“We met on a dating app, and had dated a year before, stopped dating, and then he reached out again to give him another chance, and we had just gone out again once,” Vix told Bored Panda.

“This was the first time [I met] someone [who] thought they could catch it but I’ve had others who just wouldn’t call or text back once I’ve told them. It’s ok. I get that it’s a scary subject.”

Vix thinks that this happened because of fear. “Cancer makes people think about death and we live in a society that puts life before everything,” she added. “Cancer can touch so many people, hearing the word can bring feelings of grief which is the most powerful emotion that humans can feel. After all, it’s the price we pay for love.”

And even though she has “blocked and deleted” the guy from her life immediately, Vix doesn’t think it’s something that deserves a lot of attention. “He’s was a nice guy, we had lots in common and great talks. I don’t wish him any ill will, just not the man for me.”

She believes that everyone is misinformed about something, this just happens to be one topic this particular person doesn’t know much about. “No time for hate, that’s giving him way too much power.”

    More than his lack of knowledge about cancer, what's worse here is his attitude. If he doesn't trust her now about this issue, he will be doubting her about other things forever.

    Exactly. He doesn't think she's intelligent enough to know what she's talking about even though he's the one lacking in the brains department. He'd always treat her like a lesser human being. She is very well shot of him. Hopefully the cancer forever as well.

    So, for the privilege of dating you, you want me to 1) make an appointment with my doctor 2) pay for an appointment with my doctor 3) have my doctor state and explain my medical history to you. Well, since I'm not a race horse and you are not a functioning adult, I'm going to have to give that a hard pass.

    They thought I took off an unreasonable amount of time, & I didn't even have to get chemo. They were also afraid to keep me on since it could come back. The thing is though, it was a very treatable form of cancer. It could come back but odds were it could be conquered again

    I'm replying to myself as I realised how vitriolic my response was. I am disabled with multiple illnesses and diseases, this means that I have suffered a LOT of people with ignorance of the contagious aspects. Now some of mine are extremely rare but there really is No way that guy cannot have known anyone with cancer or can't have Knowledge of even its most basics, it's impossible! Hence my anger at him, his attitude and ignorance. Apologies for the rudeness of my original comment, there is no way of editing that I can see on here.

    I'm sure we all remember the terror when AIDS was first discovered. Despite being told repeatedly that you couldn't catch it from a hug, handshake or toilet seat, people freaked the f**k out. Remember that kid, Ryan White? He got AIDS from a tainted blood transfusion. He was 12 (?) and grown a*s people called him a f****t, he was shunned and bullied at school. People made his life a living hell. All due to ignorance, stupidity and unfounded fear.

    Seen this very close up. When people hear that someone has cancer, they get cold feet, and when the treatments start, they get the cold shoulder, and when things turn south, people start disappearing like puffs of smoke in the wind, as they can't "cope with it". Wasn't your friendship with the person worth more than that? You just toss them away when things get real, rather than be there, give the lending hand you did before, the listening ear you lent for gossip, the support when they felt sad, the very things they did for you, when you felt the same or needed a bit of help? People are thick, and only think about themselves... and yes, how many times have i not heard the thing - are you not afraid of getting it? or even, i'm afraid to get it off you, as you deal with her... how do I know you are not contagious with that cancer thing? (you need a fscking brain implant, pal...). It is at this point you get to know who your real friends are, and which ones you need to dump.

    I knew a guy who didn't have sex with his wife after she had ovarian cancer. She was cured but he never touched her again in that way. Just because his mom told him it was contagious. They had a son who was born before she got cancer. He hat some health issues (allergies and neurodermatitis). One time the guy said that his son probably had this because the mother had cancer some years after the birth. Thats more than stupid to me.

    I understand being worried that your children could have an increased risk as a result of a parent survivors genes, but never on earth have I ever heard of someone being afraid that THEY were going to catch cancer from their partner. Never on earth, have I seen the most painful results of the modern death of the intellectual our world is experiencing.

    I totally understand. When I was diagnosed, my ex-wife said, "I didn't sign up for this." She got the kids and the proceeds from selling the house; I was basically homeless until an old friend from the Army let me move in with him. Fast forward 8 years, I'm remarried to a much better (and better looking) woman and we're blessed with a handsome, intelligent toddler.

Of course, my husband was the one losing his cool when we got the bad news (the kids had to calm him down)(poor guy). Somehow, I knew I would be fine, so that's what I told my family. So far, so good (9 years remission/cured).

    I suppose it means she doesn't want to disclose her full medical history in details. She has the right to decide what and with whom to share.

    Now just hold one a minute. Cancer is communicable in some animals. Maybe that's where he got the idea. Tasmanian Devils are one of the very few unlucky creatures on this planet to carry a transmissible cancer, and they don’t just have one—they can contract two separate contagious kinds of tumors. The disfiguring facial growths eventually kill them. Nearly 95 percent of affected populations have died (most of the island is infected at this point), and devils are nearly extinct because of it. Check it out for yourself at https://www.popsci.com/cancer-tasmanian-devils-chemotherapy. And maybe try not being so judgy....

    Exactly. He doesn't think she's intelligent enough to know what she's talking about even though he's the one lacking in the brains department. He'd always treat her like a lesser human being. She is very well shot of him. Hopefully the cancer forever as well.

    They thought I took off an unreasonable amount of time, & I didn't even have to get chemo. They were also afraid to keep me on since it could come back. The thing is though, it was a very treatable form of cancer. It could come back but odds were it could be conquered again

Remember that kid, Ryan White? He got AIDS from a tainted blood transfusion. He was 12 (?) and grown a*s people called him a f****t, he was shunned and bullied at school. People made his life a living hell. All due to ignorance, stupidity and unfounded fear.

    Seen this very close up. When people hear that someone has cancer, they get cold feet, and when the treatments start, they get the cold shoulder, and when things turn south, people start disappearing like puffs of smoke in the wind, as they can't "cope with it". Wasn't your friendship with the person worth more than that? You just toss them away when things get real, rather than be there, give the lending hand you did before, the listening ear you lent for gossip, the support when they felt sad, the very things they did for you, when you felt the same or needed a bit of help? People are thick, and only think about themselves... and yes, how many times have i not heard the thing - are you not afraid of getting it? or even, i'm afraid to get it off you, as you deal with her... how do I know you are not contagious with that cancer thing? (you need a fscking brain implant, pal...). It is at this point you get to know who your real friends are, and which ones you need to dump.

    I knew a guy who didn't have sex with his wife after she had ovarian cancer. She was cured but he never touched her again in that way. Just because his mom told him it was contagious. They had a son who was born before she got cancer. He hat some health issues (allergies and neurodermatitis). One time the guy said that his son probably had this because the mother had cancer some years after the birth. Thats more than stupid to me.

She got the kids and the proceeds from selling the house; I was basically homeless until an old friend from the Army let me move in with him.

    As soon as he stated that he thought cancer was contageous, she should have said "bye bye Felicia." And from one survivor to another - go get 'em girl!

    Now just hold one a minute. Cancer is communicable in some animals. Maybe that's where he got the idea. Tasmanian Devils are one of the very few unlucky creatures on this planet to carry a transmissible cancer, and they don’t just have one—they can contract two separate contagious kinds of tumors. The disfiguring facial growths eventually kill them. Nearly 95 percent of affected populations have died (most of the island is infected at this point), and devils are nearly extinct because of it. Check it out for yourself at https://www.popsci.com/cancer-tasmanian-devils-chemotherapy. And maybe try not being so judgy....
