First round of docetaxel done

Mummyb 

I'm also on docetaxel and have received 5 from 6 cycles of chemotherapy.

If you have forgotten, why not contact your GP asap and ask could the district nurse come out today and show you.

Failing that do you have call the 24 helpline through the hospital.

You could call them, and  they may invite you back to have it done.

Good luck with this, I hope you get it sorted out.

Please take care and stay safe

I’m sure the district nurse can come out and do the first one for you. You will need some support the first time you do it xx

Best to get someone to show you just to make sure you are doing it right. I am lucky that her indoors has done all of mine, mind you I have done hers. Glad it went well anyway, xx

Thanks everyone.

Gp surgery shut and district nurses couldn’t guarantee they could get to me.  

Thank goodness the pharmacy is local. Wouldn’t do it for me but explained it to me.

Ive done it now, hopefully I got it right.

So pleased you got it sorted.

I've been wondering how you went on all day.

Good luck with everything moving forward.

You can relax now.

Thanks spud n norberry

Does you good to share even if there isn’t a solution

Glad your pharmacy could help. Good idea to go there’s 

, I have just read your post, I'm too late to tell you that I have given myself around 250 injections. Unfortunately I don't think I could have helped because my injections are by a pre-loaded spring loaded syringe. I'd guess yours isn't like that. I'm glad you managed to get help. Well done.

Oh tv man you would have been invaluable, mine are spring loaded pre filled too.  

Gosh 250, that’s an awful lot. Are you still having to do them regularly? And what are yours for?
