After about 8 months of Firmagon monthly injections in my belly area, I switched 3 months ago to Lupron injections in my “love handles.” I switched to preserve remaining belly sites not made lumpy by Firmagon for my insulin pump ports—insulin injection plus Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). I insert new insulin pump ports every 3-7 days.
Firmagon belly lumps seem to be healing slowly. Not fast enough to use for insulin pump ports. So how long does it take for Firmagon injection sites to heal?
Fortunately, my insulin site ports heal in 2-3 days. But I only preserved a limited area in my belly before switching to lupron. Sure could use more room at those unhealed former Firmagon injection sites.
