Hi!
I am having these shots, 120mg every three weeks, since March. I think it is equivalent to Sandostatin LAR? Next week I am having blood tests and my endo will give me the results at the end of June.
I also had the same shots before the first operation, but now the leaflet of Somatuline has been updated, and it says it can be administered by oneself: personally I feel quite scared of THE NEEDLE so, since I have the nurse at 5 minutes from home, by now, I am not thinking about that possibility.
you can find it here: http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcmed.nsf/pages/iscsatgi/$File/iscsatgi.pdf
Maybe if it is a long journey to have it injected, it would be much easier to do it by oneself. Anyone who tries, please let us all know.
