<human>: **Note:** Was debating whether to post here or r/OKCupid, but ultimately decided there are likely more understanding/less narcissistic redditors here.

So I've recently been seeing a girl whom I met online. We've only gone on a few dates, but talk daily via some form of communication, and have been doing so for a few weeks now. We clearly have feelings for one another, but both agreed to take it slow(ish) out of fear of possibly hurting one another.

Following the first date, she informed me about being diagnosed with brain cancer several years ago, but went into remission a few years back. Having a close family member die somewhat recently from cancer, I understood where she was coming from, but never thought any less of her. If anything, it makes me admire/like her even more.

Anyway, she had an MRI a few days back, and was confident the results would come back negative. Unfortunately, she got terrible news and told me that a tumor has grown back.

Truthfully, something like this isn't a deal breaker. I want to stick around and potentially see how things work out between her and I, because she's an incredible person. But since we're not (officially) a couple, I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before she tells me that I should bail out, "just in case." Am I being selfish for wanting to still see her?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Have mutual feelings for someone who has a serious medical condition. Should I continue on, or is that just a selfish move on my behalf?
