Prostap on holiday

Can't whoever obtains and administers this here (your GP?) advise you?

Hi Sunshine17, if four injection is due in the first week you are away, you can have it early by up to a week, but not late, If you have a good GP, I'm assuming you get your injections through your GP, they can sort you a dose, along with the relevant paperwork, to take with you, you will have to find a local doctor to administer it, good luck.

Hello Sunshine17. 

Most Hormone Therapy treatments come in either 1, 3 or 6 month versions. Would it not be easier to either add in a one month dose or move to a 6 month dose?

I know I was on Decapeptyl and this was either 3 or 6 monthly. From memory I think Prostap comes in 1 or 3 month injections.

Don't forget your holiday insurance - here's a link should you need it.

Yes, they probably can

Thank you for your reply

Thanks Millibob, 6 monthly injections would work as far as my trip away is concerned, hopefully it is an option regarding my treatment 

Hello Sunshine17. 

I was on the 6 monthly injections and it suited me fine. You would have to check with your GP however if you are happy on Prostap I would stick with it.

What was you taking in your 6 monthly injections. The Prostrap does seem to work for me with no side effects however every 6 months would suit me better. Thanks for the link....

Hello Sunshine17. 

I started off on Decapeptyl 6 monthly injections from diagnosis. I have had the usual side effects but no issues with the injections.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks Brian, I am seeing my oncologist soon, I will ask about my options then
