Herceptin Sub Cut Injection
Just wondering if anyone is having their Herceptin via injection? i had my first of these on wed (previously via port iv), the needle stayed in my leg for 5 mins as they can only inject a ml a minute...
Crikey, @JoeyLiz, that definitely doesn't look right. I was Her2 neg, so didn't have herceptin.
I don't know why, but I thought when it was an injection , it was subcutaneous?? From what you've just said, it's a 5ml injection? That's a lot to give, even IM, and that volume would be given in the glute, not thigh. Hope you don't end up with an infection.
I've been thinking about you lately, that your surgery must be getting mighty close. How are you going? Other than this, of course
