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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.

You're not alone, Usman. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Naples but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Usman a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
