January / February Poll Results

Do you know enough about the current classes of drugs and how they work that you feel comfortable in helping to manage your own care?

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.
Yes 53%:
  • 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”!
