@eileen11108 according to this article from Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/peginterferon-alfa-2a-subcutaneous-route/proper-use/drg-20067318 " You may be taught how to give this medicine at home. "
Maybe @mortysdad @lourdene @treeore can share more information about Pegasys being administered in clinical office setting or by self-injection at home.
Did your hematologist explain why she did not recommend self-injection for you?

Hello, I self-inject at home. I was a little apprehensive at first, but watched a YouTube video. After a couple of weeks it was nothing. No one at the Moffit Cancer Center, where I go, even suggested having it administered by a medical professional.
