Had first dose of Firmagon today. 2 shots in the stomach. I've had more painful flu shots surprisingly. At least I feel like I'm doing something now......

I guess your onco really wanted to knock down the PSA in a hurry with the Firmagon.
But yes, doing something is much, much better than waiting and wondering. Best to you,

Hi Perry, I just had my first dose of Firmagon on Aug 6. 2 shots in the abdomen, same as you. I still don’t have any side effects yet that I am aware of. I have had Covid for the last 6 days and I do feel the effects of that. It made me feel better to start the Firmagon. I’m normally a very anxious person (treated with Lexipro) but PCa has put me over the edge. Starting radiation later in September.
