New tools I'd like: helping people accept a terminal diagnosis and get the palliative care they need. How to encourage people to live with the cancer.

@jimhd Jim, I understand the feeling you have from traveling. I feel wiped out from being busy outside of the house two days in a row. You know, going to the doctors, pharmacy, and a stop at the grocery store. There have been times I couldn't make a teleconference due to being in bed from pain or fatigue. Let me tell you what @colleenyoung and @JustinMcClanahan have said to me : Take care of yourself!
I imagine that worrying about the meeting and what you will be able to do has you feeling very anxious. Jim, it's really ok. Take care of you. Do what is best for your health and well being. You will be able to see what was discussed on the tele conference.

Be well,
Jen

I understand too Jim. Sometimes we have to step back and take a break, recover from our busy endeavours. Well said, Jen.

Hi Colleen: Yes, I'll be on the call at 1 p.m. ET - perhaps I did not do my registration the right way or maybe it didn't take.

START THE DISCUSSION in prep for Nov 30 teleconference
I would like to share my thoughts in regard to item #5. Ideas, Inspirations and Innovations - What resource, tool or support would like to have to help you in your role as a Mentor?
I think that this is a technology issue?
I understand the rationale for having the posts listed First to Last, so that a person can read all posts as they evolve. However it is difficult to locate a new entry when is placed in the middle of a discussion.
An example is when viewing the Trending Posts on the Opening Page. or when I see a re-activated forum within a discussion group (the one that rises to the top of the list). Lets say I see a topic of interest that was posted XXmin ago, and then I click on it, I cannot easily locate the most recent post that was referenced post of XXmin ago. This is a big deal when it is a long forum. I know that I can receive e-mail notifications for my preferential groups, however I like the option of checking in on other topics now and then.
Is it possible to add a "newest" or "most recent" in addition to the "First" and "Last" options to the beginning of the forum?
I admit, I get frustrated with a multipage forum if I have to scroll through each page.

I'm happy to report that the trending post request has been accepted. I'll let you know when this new functionality will be available.

What this means:
On the homepage https://connect.mayoclinic.org/, there is a row of card showing the last 4 active discussions. If you click VIEW ALL then you can see all the recent active threads https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups/#cap-6171
Currently if you click one of these discussion threads, you get taken to the first message. In the updated version you will be taken directly to the latest message that was posted. Yippee!

Thanks for making this request @rosemarya !

Great meeting everyone. It is valuable as a moderator to listen to your input. I, and I am sure other Page owners, would be interested in hearing your thoughts, comments, suggestions, critiques of the Pages. I am always looking for ideas on what sort of content patients would be interested in learning.

I will keep everyone in the loop in the design of the group and page specific brochures that I am working with the social media team to create.

I apologize for not speaking much today as I was in a busy area. Unfortunately, us supplementals don't get office space 🙁
