My bf and I would like to make some friends with other couples around our age (early 30s). Are there any spaces/events where couples can be found that aren’t a bar?

Hello everyone,

I underwent radiation almost 10 years ago for Ewing’s sarcoma in my right scapula. I had a substantial dose of radiation (according to my oncologist) because of the nature and size of the tumor. Since then, my shoulder muscle mass has shrunk a lot and cannot ever really be rebuilt, regardless of any working out I do. I’m wondering if this has happened to any other survivors, and how are you dealing with it now? It’s very noticeable and the area doesn’t behave like other areas of muscle.

I honestly never expected to live this long, and I think my providers also were 50/50 on that, so we never had extensive conversations about what that would look like. They also seem to have different ideas about it, and seem to just be surprised that it’s not worse.
