How to connect with other cancer patients when feeling alone?

it is so nice to be in a room with other people with cancer diagnosis like myself. A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia but without symptoms. I would love to communicate with others who have serious diagnosis. I'm 73 going on 40 and lived on my sailboat in West Palm Beach for the last 6 years and I'm back home in Columbia to sell my house and to respond to a divorce request from my third world Hispanic wife. I'm alone and bored and would love to communicate with anyone else in a similar situation maybe someone who just needs to visit or maybe a female who needs a handyman around occasionally.

Finding connection during a cancer journey can feel challenging, especially when dealing with major life changes at the same time. Many cancer patients find that online support communities like this one offer meaningful connections with others who understand the unique challenges of living with a diagnosis. For more personal conversations and to connect with clinical care experts who can help you find local support resources, just scroll down the page from Home Screen of app to find the Ask Outcomes4Me box to get in touch. If feelings of loneliness become overwhelming, the 988 crisis hotline is available 24/7 for support.
