Re: Started Injection Therapy -- Not Working
For anyone who cares. Things have been going pretty well after a bit of a discouraging start. I am pretty much successful at this point with my injections. With my latest prescription I switched from 1/2" to 5/16" syringes and like them a bit better. Just have to remember to dimple the pen...

Guys -- Sure this all sounds familiar to many of you. But, all new to me. January 6 told I had prostate cancer, DaVinci robotic surgery June 19 (Had to wait because of heart attack Jan 5 and on blood thinners for it.) Nerves spared, but right side beat up really bad (cancer in all sections of right ...
