Hi hope you’re all as well as you possibly can be
I have been on 3 monthly Prostap injections for almost two years now . Each time I go in , the nurse sits and injects it into my tummy slowly and we sit and chat for a few minutes until it’s done
This time however , she literally injected it , like you would , say , a vaccination and then that was it , in a matter of seconds ! I commented on it and she just shrugged . Has this happened to anyone else ? I’m worried about the efficacy and side effects etc and that she’s done it completely the wrong way ♀️
positive hugs to everyone xx
Hi Doollydimple
While I don't have the experience you are looking for I noticed that you haven't had any replies yet so I thought I'd reply to you to move you to the top of the discussion. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.
Hope you are doing ok apart from the concern about the injection.
Best wishes

Hi Daisy
I hope you are keeping well ?
I’m doing ok thanks . Almost finished my 2 years of Abemaciclib so that feels like a bit of an achievement in itself :)
take care xx
Hi Gail
Thank you very much . I’ve been on the forum for almost 3 years now but havent posted in a while . Yes it was a different nurse . I know I’m probably overreacting but I tend to overthink and worry xx
It may simply be that the technique is different or has changed. However, to reassure you 100% why not give the Nurses a call where you had the injection and check this with them directly..
