Three young women share their experiences of using dating apps after undergoing life-changing cancer treatment and discuss the challenges they face in the online dating world.
BBC NewsbeatFirst there's the swiping and matching, before you even have to worry about being ghosted or maybe even meeting the person in real life.
"It really threw me that the first thing people saw were the scars on my neck," the 22-year-old tells BBC Newsbeat. Natalie, who had treatment for thyroid cancer, says she learnt how to be thick-skinned but it still ruined her experience of dating. Natalie, who lives in Devon, decided to delete the apps after a few months and wants people to think more about how they talk to someone who's had cancer.She was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma, a rare type of blood cancer, when she was 23.
But she felt like she couldn't avoid talking about her cancer because it took up so much of her life. Mattie also says it meant she struggled to answer all the first date questions - like "what do you do for fun?" - without it coming up in conversation.
