CancerMatch.com?


Assertive, adventurous 52-year-old woman, living with incurable cancer, would like to meet a marriage-minded Canadian gent who is a cancer survivor or living with the disease.

Me: Writer, artist, teacher, well-known cancer blogger. Mother of two almost-grown sons (22 and 17). Vegetarian (but you don’t have to be). Loves animals (two large dogs and three cats), gardening, house projects. The beach. Books. Travel. Financially solvent except for absurdly expensive health insurance premiums and medical costs. Dislikes: Pink ribbons, chemotherapy, and unsolicited advice.

You: Age 45 to about 57. Canadian citizen living in Vancouver, B.C., or willing to relocate there. Cancer patient or survivor. Open-minded. Bit of a risk taker. Warm hearted but not clinging. Bald OK.

I’m not looking for a caretaker, and you shouldn’t be either. I am looking for a lover and new best friend.

Contact: jeanne.sather@gmail.com with photo.

A footnote: If I do marry a Canadian citizen, I expect the Canadian government to send George Bush, or whomever follows him into the Oval Office, a bill for the $300,000 annual cost of my cancer care.

I am considering doing the same exact thing. I don't have cancer (fingers crossed) but I am in chronic pain with depression that keeps me from being employed consistently. This country's system is BULLSHIT. It's absolutely a scandal that you have to pay that much money to not die.

Anon--good luck to you. Hope it works out. Jeanne

Well, that's a good assumption you've got there about having access to treatment in Canada. There is currently a three month wait for CT and MRI scans in my community, and treatment can take two more months after that. Prescriptions are NOT covered by health care, and here in Ontario, we pay $900 each per year to access the health care system.
Looks like a lot of people out there have a very skewed impression of how Canadian health care works.

Shelley--I pay $800/month for my health insurance, which doesn't cover everything either. I'd gladly trade.
