I had my 2nd implant this morning size 4 knitting pin, OUCH! I was asked if I might be interested in an alternativ as a smaller needle is used. I will be seeing my Consultant in 2 weeks time & see what he says. The implant is a capsule, the alternative is a liquid. Both work on a 3 month cycle it seems. I suppose the question is, should I 'swap boats in mid stream'? Ah well, soon find out, my Consultant must have had his reasons for Zoladex.
