[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few months ago, my wife of 15 years left me (I have the house).  This was not surprising; two years ago, we were working towards a split, when I was diagnosed with metastatic cancer.  At that point, it seemed better to stay together, since I was told that I had a 50% chance of surviving one year.  
 
I currently have no evidence of disease, but I am physically limited by the after effects of multiple abdominal surgeries.

At what point is it appropriate to mention my medical issues?  Clearly, before sex, as the scars will be apparent, but it seems like a buzzkill on the first date.[/quote]

At the first serious conversation.  This is how dating has worked for me.  Go out two or three times, tell jokes, pieces of your life story, etc.  Then it always seems the next date you are back at one or another's place and start talking about things like why you got divorced, what you are looking for,....  This is when you come up with something like this and say, "there is something I would like you to know about me.."[/quote]
