Hi I've been having denosumab injections for over 3 years now. 2 out of 3 months my gp practice give me this and once every 3 months oncology give me it after bloods and I also pick up my next 3 months supply of Ibrance. Oncology are now trying to get me to get denosumab on prescription, collect this and inject my self at home. I have told them I'm not prepared to do this and want them To continue. They said its all about money in that it's cheaper for me to get it on prescription than for them to get it on for me. However, I am still adamant that I'm not going to do this myself.
Just wondering has anyone else been put in this position.
Thanks
Hi Levens
It must be very distressing to be told by your hospital team that you must now administer your injections yourself.
