Hi, yes I had 7 days of injecting, all the February Valentines 2013 did. I did them myself, but I was used to injecting as I'd had 6-7 years on low dose methotrexate injections once every week, for RA. They are subcutaneous injections (into fatty tissue) and most people use their stomach or their thigh. You have a very positive attitude jhanchi. Good luck for your treatments, hope your side effects are minimal.
Hi - I was neutropenic after each of my chemo cycles, my second cycle was delayed by a week and the third one by three weeks. Because of that my dose was reduced and I had a bone marrow boosting injection for 10 days after each of my last six cycles. To begin with the district nurses did them but then I decided to do them myself. Luckily I never got any infection so avoided being admitted to hospital. It is a really fine needle and the syringes are all pre-loaded so it is very quick and easy to do yourself - it's just a bit weird doing it the first time. Good luck!
Hi, I do them myself. Really easy and not painful, just pinch an inch and off you go. No one showed me, they just gave me a leaflet. A few of us December angels 2013 have them and do them ourselves.
Was told this will be happening to me to help my immune system recover has anyone else experienced this . I am told a district unsure will call to do this but I can do it myself has anyone done this is it . I want to try as I cannot be hanging around waiting for the nurse to drop in I have things to do !
