Hi @cabarb43 and welcome to Connect. Connect isn’t a “live feed “ in the sense that someone is monitoring every conversation and discussion as it happens. We do this by notification that someone has made a comment or reacted to a discussion. There are literally hundreds of discussions occurring all of the time here.
Those of us who respond are for the most part patients or previous patients who volunteer our time to help others such as you with insight from our experience. I for one work with patients primarily in the Head and Neck Cancer group as is my background. These patients are from many countries around the world. There is no way I can have a live conversation with the guy in Australia whilst communicating with the girl in England. I live in the US. But like you now if your notifications are turned on, I will get notifications from these fine people and perhaps respond over breakfast or late this afternoon. After all, I like most current and former patients are volunteering here. We do this when we can, if we can.
And now that you are here, I hope you can help others with your experience as well. Good healing.
