Joy,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you wanting a man in your life. You have been honest with him about being a breast cancer survivor -- you are a survivor! I know only too well what it's like being alone. Having the loving support of family and friends is fust not the same as having a man you can talk to or lean on. I haven't had a relationship for over 5 years now and I really miss not having someone of the opposite sex tojust hang out with and talk, not to mention the hugging, kissing, etc. I say go for it! What have you got to loose -- absolutely nothing but a lot to gain.
