SET AND REACH YOUR CHRONIC ITP TREATMENT GOALS
Living with low platelet counts can be hard, but talking about it doesn’t have to be. Having an open and honest conversation with your doctor can help lead to care that best fits all your treatment needs.
Treatment goal discussion
Goals with chronic ITP are not one-size-fits-all. That’s why partnering with your doctor and sharing in the decision-making process is a great way to feel more in control of your treatment.
Here are a few questions to consider before starting a conversation with your doctor:
Health Goals
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, which can affect the treatment you and your doctor choose together.
FLIP FOR QUESTIONSHealth Goals
- What is your most important treatment goal and why?
- How do you feel about your current treatment and the day-to-day impact on your life?
- How long will it take for these treatments to start working?
- What side effects might these treatments have, and will they affect any immunizations you may need to get?
Treatment Choices
Certain chronic ITP treatments require injections for dosing or food-type restrictions (like restrictions on dairy or iron supplements) that may change your routine.
FLIP FOR QUESTIONSTreatment Choices
- Are you satisfied with your current treatment?
- Would you rather take a pill or get an injection for dosing?
- Would you be willing to plan your meals around your treatment?
- Will these treatments interact with any other medicines that you take or foods that you eat?
Other Goals
It’s important to consider all of your options when choosing a treatment, including how it fits into your work schedule, ease of travel, and if you can find financial assistance or patient support programs.
FLIP FOR QUESTIONSOther Goals
- Have you missed or had to skip any treatment doses in the last few months? If so, why?
- Have you missed work to go your doctor’s appointments?
- Are you able to get to your doctor’s appointments easily? (think: car, bus, train, etc)
- When, where, and for how long will you need to take these treatments?
- Are you interested in financial assistance or patient support programs?
Treatment takes teamwork
