Talking to your doctor about GOMEKLI
Voice-over:
It can be hard to start a conversation about treatment or know what questions to
ask. In this video, we’ll share some tips for having a productive conversation
with your doctor.
Image onscreen:
A split screen of 2 individuals with NF1-PN is shown: On the left-hand side of
the screen, a woman looks at herself in the bathroom mirror, and on the right
side of the screen, a young boy gets help with his backpack from his mother.
Voice-over:
If you’re living with or caring for someone who has NF1-PN, you know firsthand
the impact plexiform neurofibromas can have.
Image onscreen:
The woman sits at a desk with her computer open to the GOMEKLI website. She has
a pen and paper in hand and is getting ready to write down information.
Voice-over:
When you need to talk about it with your doctor, it helps to be prepared with
questions or concerns.
Image onscreen:
The image zooms in on the treatment goals the adult woman has written for
herself.
Voice-over:
First, think about your goals. What are the treatment goals you’d like to set
with your doctor for yourself or the person you care for? What else is important
to you?
Image onscreen:
The woman smiles as she reviews the treatment goals she wrote on her notepad.
Voice-over:
Knowing what you’re looking for can help you and your doctor come up with a
treatment plan that works for you. If you’re not sure, you can ask your doctor
what they think some goals could be and you can discuss them together.
Image onscreen:
As the symptom types are introduced, the screen splits into 3 sections. The left
panel shows a young boy grimacing as he accidentally bumps a PN on his elbow
against a door. In the middle panel is an adult woman changing how she walks due
to pain from her PN, and the panel on the right shows an adult male looking in
the mirror at a PN, located on his neck, that has grown larger.
Text onscreen:
Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions before starting GOMEKLI.
Voice-over:
Next, think about any new or worsening symptoms you’d like to discuss. Are you
or the person you care for experiencing pain, difficulty moving around, or
visible changes to your plexiforms? Are there other symptoms you want to
mention?
Image onscreen:
A woman is sitting at a desk. Her computer displays the GOMEKLI website’s
Resources page, and she is in the process of downloading the Doctor Discussion
Guide.
Voice-over:
The GOMEKLI Doctor Discussion Guide is a resource you can use to start a
conversation that will help you find out if GOMEKLI is right for you. It’s
available on GOMEKLI.com and you can download it, fill it out, and save it for
your appointment.
Image onscreen:
An adult woman sits at her computer, reviewing the downloaded NF1
symptom-tracker form.
Voice-over:
It has a place to capture what symptoms you or the person you care for is
experiencing, and to rate how much those symptoms are impacting daily life.
Image onscreen:
The woman is now scrolling through the guide. She is reading through the
frequently asked questions portion of the document.
Voice-over:
Finally, think about questions you’d like to ask your doctor about GOMEKLI
treatment. The discussion guide has a list of commonly asked questions, like:
How can GOMEKLI help? How is this medicine taken? When can I expect to see
results? What are the most common side effects of GOMEKLI?
Image onscreen:
The woman is scrolling to the bottom of the document where there is a blank
space provided for patients who need or want to ask personalized questions about
their experiences with NF1.
Voice-over:
There’s also space where you can write down any other questions you may have so
you’re prepared for the conversation.
Image onscreen:
We see the woman from a side angle, looking at her computer screen.
Voice-over:
Remember, this is a chance for you to learn about a treatment that may help you
or someone you care about. The more information you have, the better equipped
you’ll be to take part in treatment decisions.
Image onscreen:
The woman sits across from her doctor as they engage in conversation.
Voice-over:
Taking an active role in the discussion and standing up for what you want can
help you get the care you need.
Image onscreen:
The conversation between the woman and her doctor continues. The patient is
happily nodding, and in the end looks toward the camera and smiles.
Voice-over:
We hope your next doctor’s visit is a productive one. Feel free to rewatch this
video at any time and explore additional resources at GOMEKLI.com.
