Hi Billy - here are a few of my notes on Firmagon.

I have been on Firmagon for over 2 years on doublet therapy for metastatic PCa. Doing quite well. Rejected the promoted switch to Lupron/Eligard "for convenience". I get my injections on my "love handles", in other words the fat on the sides between hip and rib cage.

Also as you'll see on my notes, the question of the competency and skill of the nurse is very important. I have been able to arrange to have a nurse come to my home every 28 days and he is very skilled and I don't have problems.

In the following notes you can ignore extraneous topics such as orchiectomy.
