Yolanda is isolated after chemotherapy: a call a week would help

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

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 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. Glad we found this place.

    Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

      So sorry you're going through this, Yolanda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

      • Marc Nathan Marty

        Hang in there, Yolanda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Gazipur!

          Sending strength, Yolanda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning.

            So sorry you're going through this, Yolanda. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out

              Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
