Had a fantastic experience. I'm working on a response now. Its going to take me 3-4 daysMaybe longer if i can't control dyskenesia. This will certainly be a shocker. WE DESERVE BETTER!!

You install a voice-to-text dictation program and use your microphone, speaking your slow clear-articulating best. There are a number of good online dictation programs you can install on your computer and use either in the cloud or right on your computer or smart phone.

Then you can dictate to your heart's content on a separate word file on your computer or phone...think of it as your drafting notepad. Then when it's done or complete after having drafted and edited it over a few sessions to your heart's content, then you copy it and then paste it here, into the response portion of this discussion area here.

Hi Marion, I'm sorry it's been months and i am just getting back to you. Thank you for your sage advice. I have to ask, you know you don't have to answer. Do you have medical or engineering experience, perhaps JCAHO? I have to put these wild dyskenesia spells behind me. I'm trying to go back on Tasigna (Nilotinib). VG results from 3 years ago. If it doesn't happen that's ok too. Thank you for your response. Be safe and take care.

Actually yes I have JCAHO experience and also HCFA enforcement experience (as a state agency surveyor enforcing federal contract compliance in healthcare facilities). But it's over a decade old, and I don't have skill or experience in any engineering and devices, sorry, and I know virtually nothing about cancer chemicals.

There is someone here though who does research in cancer pharmaceutical design. Maybe she will have something to say or a direction to point.

Of course! I'd love to hear what you have to say about it

Bad news tacato. I had a tele call with a GU DR. This is the DR who wrote the Tasigna script for me back in September 2019. GU is moving on, they claim not enough positive results as well as the Black Box FDA issues. Tasigna was developed for the treatment of CML TH IS IN MY OPINION TOO BIG. IT NEEDS IT'S OWN THREAD. WILL WORK ON IT NOW!

How many threads do you want on this? There is at least 10 not counting your current post.

Tasigna = Nilotinib.

Is this enough?

1. Type it in your email the same as if you are composing an email. It will automatically be saved in your "Drafts" section.

2. Select that draft with a left mouse click each time you want to add to it.

3. When you have completed the draft and are ready to post it, go to that draft and with your mouse cursor on that page, right click your mouse, from the drop down menu that appears, left click your mouse on "Select all". Everything on the page will be highlighted. Right click your mouse again on the same page. from the drop down menu, select "Copy" with a left click of your mouse.

4. Now go to HU and start a new post as though you are going to type something. Enter the title of your new post on the title line.

5. Now move your mouse cursor into the larger box where your post will be written and left click your mouse. You will see the cursor begin blinking in the upper left corner of the box. Now right click your mouse while it is inside of the box and from the drop down menu, select " Paste" with a left click of your mouse. What you wrote in your email should now appear in the large box and your post is now ready to post to HU.
