Hi recently diagnosed with this type of cancer I've had first round of chemo very scared about being sick/vomiting any advice welcome
Hi ... Yes I think so ... To boost your immune system I think I was told .

Hiya Bumble bug ...
I opted for the district nurse in the end ... they demonstrated with a pen ... Then showed me the real needle hahaha
Yes, that was what mine was for.
I didn't suffer from any side effects except after the last of the 7 injection's every time. I'd go to bed fine but wake up the next morning with really bad pain in my lower back. I found if I spent the day lying down with a hot water bottle under my back I was fine but as soon as I got into a more upright position it was very painful. However, that only lasted a day so I could cope with that.
I hadn't heard of this but I have now. Im getting quite the expert with self injections, I had 28 after my surgery and am just on my last 2 now, was hoping these would be the last but will now expect more. Hope you are not feeling too bad and hope the next few days are ok xx
Well .... I have had a really good day today ... No side effects from the first round yet ... Taken my meds as stated.
May feel a little different tomorrow after having that NEEDLE in the tummy!
So glad it went well today! That’s the first one to cross off your list :) xx
Hi, just trawling the net looking for neuropathy socks, can you tell me have you used these and did they work. They are quite expensive if the dont work. Any info would be grateful. Thanks
