How Do Those Go Of You Receiving Chemo Through Injections Handle It?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I get three shots per week, two in stomach and one in upper thigh. Finding going though them harder each time we arrive. The thigh injection very painful and slow. Only in my first cycle, can’t imagine all that are yet to come. Feeling bad cause I know all of you are going thru the same or perhaps much worse. Maybe just need to express myself. Trying to keep the end goal in mind. Thanks in advance cause I know the support will follow. ☮️ and ❄️ from Minnesota.
