After chemotherapy, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
Sending love, Tiago. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Radom.
Stay strong, Tiago. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Curitiba.
Rooting for you, Tiago. Get well soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from San Diego.
