I do already have one 'thread, called Lymphodema information Day in news and events . Lymphoedema Information Day | BCNA Online Network
But maybe update that heading or a new thread with a more generalised heading like you suggested may be more versatile place tro colate events and information .
Lymphodema also fits all your catagories like side effects, treatments ,living beyond, lifestyle, meta ... and Irb put this one in early bc which is good. Its how to make sure people see it who need to see it.
The problem with the old thread (i added link) is that it shows the oldest first , so when i post new info there, it should show up in the front activity page which is great whenever i add updates , but if anyone clicks on it in 'All posts and discussions most recent '( fab page) they have to scroll way down to even notice new info is there. Or maybe that is just the way the settings are. At least the search tool works well so anyone can search lymphoedema .
Online events mean easy access to anyone in australia. Early intervention and encouraging women to be proactive via education is so imprtant so they are empowered .

Happy for you to keep your thread going as well Kristen (Which is so impressive and helpful!)
The new discussion moderator's will create is just broadly Lymphodema events/information that anyone could really add to? Also I can feature it every now and again on the Home page along the right hand side. So it highlights it from there.
I am not an expert in the platform as yet but we can only 'Try, test and learn' as our CEO KP would say🙂
