I just had to reach out to you. I’m a single mom, 35, who recently found out I have breast cancer. Thank you for this article. It made me laugh and cry. At least I don’t feel so alone.. I wasn’t sure how it was going to work to date.. Still not sure. But at least I don’t feel like I’m the only one going through this. I’ve been in LA for 5 months and dating without breast cancer is hard.. Anyways just wanted to say thank you!

Lee Strasberg used to say in speaking of actors,  “The work may change but the talent never does!” That speaks directly to your many talents and vast gifts as well. The fact that I came out during a football Sunday and recovering from surgery, speaks to my respect I’ve always had for you. 

I just heard you on AM640 and had to send you a message. I just wanted to thank you for confirming there are women out there like me. It brings me hope hearing your story. Thank you again.

This one-woman show was an amazing experience! Lisa had me in tears one moment and laughing hysterically the next minute. She deals with very complicated issues in a very honest and entertaining manner. I found the show to be very life-affirming in that Lisa has gone through so much yet has forged on with life with strength, love and grace. Her courage in the face of betrayal and the added trauma of cancer is truly incredible, I left the show with a sense of hopefulness about dealing with challenges in my own life. Lisa empowers both victims and survivors alike. The fact that she does this with humor and wit exemplifies what a talent Lisa is. This play is a must-see. I give it the highest rating.

Fabulous show!! Funny and serious! Loved how the actress was so honest about her life and dating in LA!! I would definitely see it again!

My Jaw hurts from laughing so much and my eyeliner is all messed up from the tears. So entertaining and inspiring.

I just read your story on Dating After Breast Cancer. I love love loved your story. I have just recently been diagnosed with the same type of cancer DCIS. Also very early.  I JUST finished telling my friend that I’m going to stop reading stories online because until I found yours, EVERY SINGLE ONE I read was so depressing — about being less of a woman; being in pain; looking ugly, blah blah blah blah.  I’m looking for warrior stories but finding sadness. THEN I found your story and felt so much better. It is a big deal to me to start dating after my mastectomy. I’ve got lots of worries about finding a guy who will accept my scars. Thanks for giving me something positive!

I just must tell you what a delight it was to have Lisa as our speaker tonight. She is absolutely adorable and her story is beyond amazing. We had an exceptionally large attendance tonight and they all loved her. They were all so touched and inspired by her story and her message about the protection of innocent children. Many of us, myself included,  are breast cancer survivors, so it was especially meaningful to be able to relate to such an incredibly strong young woman who survived the worst of the worst.

A wonderful show full of harrowing humor against the back drop of a story that would defeat almost any mortal! Lisa David with her wide eyed sweetness is delightful!

I’m still basking in that feeling you get walking out of a great movie. And it percolates in your subconscious.

This is the first show I’ve been to in L.A. and it’s going to be hard to top it. I laughed and cried. Then cried some more the next day just thinking about it! A one woman show full of strength and pure emotion. This lady is an inspiration to all. You have to be pretty damn clever to turn those crazy life situations into an such an emotional comedy. The music was so well chosen that it added to The mood perfectly. Bring tissues!

WOW! Can’t get that show out of my head. Lisa is Amazing. Her story is so deep and intense, yet somehow she makes it funny. I can’t believe she went through all of this… “Dating in L.A. With No Nipples” is more than just another show – It’s a story about surviving and about seeing the bad shit from another perspective. Makes you think about life, makes you laugh and cry. I ABSOLUTELY recommend seeing it!!

I had the privilege of seeing your play last night. I felt compelled to write to you because your story really touched me. Your talented ability to make me feel your pain and your happiness came through in every word and action. I would cry one moment, laugh the next, and finished off with a broad smile.

Very much appreciated. I am going through something similar, and living in Los Angeles dread a return to the dating scene —but feel encouraged reading your essay here in the wee hours of the morning!!   At other times I have googled this kind of thing, and was not able to find such an inspiring tale.  (Or such an adorable photo).  Thanks so much for sharing your bravery.
