After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 12 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation.
I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like podcasts, football and cooking, and can listen to anything.
This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Thrissur.
Sending good thoughts, Swapnil. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Belfast but we're thinking of you. Take care
Rooting for you, Swapnil. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Swapnil. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Girona this morning
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Anaheim
you're not alone, Swapnil. Looking forward to the next update. I hope June is when things finally get easier
