@jime51, there are a variety of programs that can match you with a trained mentor. @scottbeammeup mentioned Imerman Angels. Here's the link https://imermanangels.org/

MD Anderson has a matching program called myCancerConnection https://www.mdanderson.org/patients-family/diagnosis-treatment/patient-support/mycancerconnection.html

The American Cancer Society has ACS CARES™ https://www.cancer.org/support-programs-and-services/acs-cares.html

Mayo Clinic has patient navigators https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/cancer-education-center/tab/patient-navigation/#ch-tab-navigation

Each of these programs are slightly different. Hopefully one matches your needs. A social worker can help you choose a combination of peer and professional services that address your specific wishes.
