Online Q&A on impact of breast cancer and treatment on sexual health:

We are pleased to announce that our online Q&A on sexual health is finally happening this Tuesday 10th April at 6.30 pm. Janine Porter-Steele, a breast care nurse and manager of the Wesley Hospital Choices Program and women’s wellness programs in Brisbane has a particular interest in sexual health and will be facilitating the Q&A. 

To join the discussion you will need to join the ‘Let’s talk about vaginas’ group.

  • 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.
  • 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.

    ‘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!

  • Liana it will be 4.30pm in Wa but the Q&À WILL STAY ON THE FORUM for all to read. If you have questions post them before tuesday
  • Thank you for letting me join the group
    Is the Q and A on at 5pm WA time
  • 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!
  • How do i go about joining this discussion
    Im having trouble joining the Lets talk about vaginas group
  • Thanks @SoldierCrab you beat me to it, I was going to post a link today!  All good  :)
    Marianne and I have drafted some guidelines for the Q& A tomorrow and I will post these first thing tomorrow morning.
    Im looking forward to the online discussion and getting some answers to the questions that were posted.
