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 music, books and gardening, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes a week

hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Nha Trang.
rooting for you, Tharun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thanks for sharing this, Tharun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Eugene but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Kolkata.
