Hi

I'm on monthly Zoladex injections, I just wanted to ask what is the longest time you've had between injections? I go on holidays next week and my last injection was 6/6, if I leave it till I get back it will be exactly 5 weeks between injections. If I have it before I go it will be 3 week between injections, which should I do?

Just need some advice.

Thanks in advance.

    hiphiphoray- I get monthly Lupron injections, similar to zoladex. According to my MOs office, the insurance will only pay if they are at least 30 days apart, not less than 30. And here, they are Very expensive-somewhere to the tune of almost $3000!!! So if it was me, I’d have to wait the five weeks. If you’ve been on them for a while, I doubt the extra week will make a difference, but that’s just my guess. This stuff all takes a while to wear off and get out of our system.

    Hope this helps. Enjoy your vacation!
