After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Da Nang.
sending strength. Wishing Thilina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Praying for you, Thilina. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
