This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Just a minor point: You mentioned shots given by the nurse. I went through a series of 16 injections of Firmagon (Degarelix), each time given by my doctor, rather than the nurse. At first he pushed the material through the needle too fast and it would be painful, so he caught on that it should be pushed in slowly. This had no effect on the pain, the hardening, (induration) at the injection site that would develop later.
