Hello everyone! My mother has been getting chemo injections in her stomach, which causes tenderness, brusing and soarness. Can anyone relate and have a suggestion?

Thank You,

Tasha

I would give Arnica Montana a try. It is homeopathic. You take it orally and they make a topical. You can use both and they are found at health food stores.

You may want to run it by the doctor, and if you are fortunate enough to have a doctor that knows about alternatives, I hope they give it a thumbs up.

Let me know!

Try pressing a cool or warm washcloth on sore spot for 15 mins. at a time. No ice or hot compress. Ice may affect how azacitidine gets into bloodstream. If you aren’t already doing so, choose a different site to give the shot each time – stomach, upper thigh or upper arm for example. If the reactions can’t be tolerated, your physician may recommend switching to IV and getting a port – no difference in effectiveness whether subcutaneous or intervenous.
