hello everyone

Peter has now had his 3rd velcade injection in 1st cycle, he also had his zometa yesterday. He is taking the dex slightly different than before, 10 tablets on injection day and 10 tablets next day followed by a break of 3 or 4 days. So far so good, although he is feeling a little tired. The dex days are causing sleeping problems. He is also suffering slightly from indigestion/reflux. he is taking medication for this too. His tummy is slightly bruised from the injections.

Hi Trish

Tell him not to rub site of injection,otherwise he will be full of bruises.
Slim had to inject himself for 8 months to prevent clots. Good luck with the Velcade. Eve

Hello everyone

Thank you Eve for the advice not to rub the tummy, Peter has only 1 bruise from 1 injection and 3 large red blotches from the other 3 jabs. He has had no 4 today so thats the 1st cycle done. Steroids tomorrow and then 10 days free from those, so hopefully he will be able to get back into a proper sleep pattern.

Love Trish xx
