January / February Poll Comments
No 47%:
- There are some holes in my knowledge about the medication choices out there now. I wish my doctor would discuss them with me more.
- I’ve had good numbers for several years, so I haven’t kept up on the new options.
- It is continually complex balancing treatment options, and I notice that few doctors care to discuss those options with you at length.
- Thanks to TEAM [Treatment Education Advocacy Management] at TPAN, I’ve learned a lot about the classes of drugs, but it’s always good to take a refresher to know more.
- The three new drugs are promising for those they will work for. I am on one of them in a clinical trial and it is working well, though soon I may have to add the other two.
- As the old saying goes, “Knowledge is Power”!
