I am 48 and have been divorced for 6 years. I have not dated much and would like to correct that! My question is.....I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and had a double mastectomy with reconstruction. I have completed chemo and am cancer free. At what point do I tell a man about this? I don't want to scare someone off, but I don't want to deceive him either. Help!

Also, if you do feel the need to discuss it, don't let it be the first thing you tell a new person. Mainly because, I believe its always a bad idea to reveal too much about yourself (good or bad) early on in dating. (Premature emotional intimacy can kill a potential relationship just as much as premature sexual intimacy).
My aunt gave me some advice once about dating. She said "if you tell a man everything about yourself on the first date, he will never go out with you again".
