I have taken this treatment for about 2 years. It is less painful if given slowly and warmed up. After taking it for long periods it became less painful for me. It has stopped my tumor growth and help me feel more healthily. I am glad I use it. I just wish it came in pill form.

I had my first set of shots yesterday. Shots were not painful. But 6 hours later, I got severe pain in my left leg... my pelvis, my left hip, my thigh bones, my left knee. On a 1-10 scale, I was a 12. Continued into night, I couldn't find anywhere to be comfortable. Finally put some ice packs on areas, they began to work in about a half hour. Used ice packs all night. Somewhat better this morning. I don't know why this happened.

I am in a protocol (Fluvestrant with Taselisib) and will begin Cycle 6 in about 10 days. My doctors tell me the cancer is 'stable,' so that's good, but I want it to disappear. There is a met to the skin, and, though the little tumors are less prominent, I am (still) waiting for them to disappear. I have learned to breathe deeply, focus on relaxing completely and do visualizations during treatment; that has reduced the pain while receiving the injections to almost zero.
