Vidaza

Hi I've just completed my 9th round of Azacitidine the nurses mention that in Australia you are having your Vidaza at home, how does this work how can you get the drug from the hospital pharmacy to the house when there is a short life time with the drug and it has to be kept at a certain temp. and who gives you the injection, do you have the right type of clothing to put on etc. Also I was told that they will give it to you in one site, I can understand something like 90mg and under in one needle but 120mg -140mg injected into one site come on, the nurse here in Christchurch was quite sure that this is what the Vidaza nurse from Australia told them is what they are doing I'm thinking this is what they want done here and I'm not happy.
Then I was told that they tried to start this and had to put a holt to it as the complication was to great, can some one enlighten me please.
Had my BMB results back blast down 16% to 5%
Dx 6/12/2011 RCMD 9985/3 changed 19/09/2014 RCMD-RA 16% blasts
