I saw my chemotherapy nurse today and she put my mind at rest. I have a couple of prescriptions for anti sickness medication and that makes me feel relieved. I just have to learn how to give myself injections for about 10 days after my chemotherapy. Has anyone else had to give themselves injections and how did you manage?
Hi Naomi, I take it you’re referring to the GSF injections to stimulate the bone marrow cells after chemo? Your nurse should have advised you on that. I actually had a demo so I knew what to do. My method was to pinch the belly fat, place the cylinder in position, and press the plunger! ? The needle is contained within the cylinder, and it’s a measured dose. Alternate sides as you do bruise. My nurse encouraged me to walk it off!? Seemed to work. I took it at lunchtime, went for a walk with hubby, then rested. Easy peasy! ?
