    Hey @SoldierCrab, will the transcript of the Q&A be available at a later date. With kids, 6.30pm is an impossible time for me. I'm also wary of taking this topic on at the moment. I absolutely will want to later this year, but for now I need to focus on my upcoming operation. I'm taking the advice of all you wonderful women here and not looking too far ahead!

    Q&A Guidelines


    The Q&A will be online commencing at 6.30 pm till 7. 30 pm on
    Tuesday 10th April 2018.

    Our speaker is Janine Porter-Steele.

    Janine is the Clinical Nurse Manager for the Choices Program at the
    Wesley Hospital in Brisbane and also the Women’s Wellness Research and Program
    Manager at Griffith University. Her particular interests are in women’s health
    and wellbeing following a cancer diagnosis and managing the side effects of
    treatment.

    She has recently completed her PhD which examined the effect of an
    e-health, lifestyle intervention on improving body image and sexual wellbeing
    after cancer. She is a
    very engaging speaker and I'm sure this will translate into the written word.

    As the Q & A is 'LIVE' in this online forum, you
    will just need to log onto the network and join the discussion titled    
     

    ‘Q&A
    with Janine Porter-Steele’.

    Thank you for all the questions that
    were submitted, these have been sent to Janine to respond to.

    To make the most of our time with Janine, the plan is for Janine to post
    one of the questions that you have previously asked, post a response and then
    there will be time for some further discussion before we move onto the next
    question.

    Janine is happy to research any questions she is unable to answer and
    then post the response at a later time.

    The Q&A thread will remain in the ‘Let’s talk about vaginas’ group so
    others can read the responses at any time.

    Looking forward to our first online Q&A!

    Janine is brilliant! I heard her speak at a forum recently. I’m sure this would be a great Q&A for anyone who might be interested.
