Azacitidine (Vidaza) first cycle-weekend off?

Hello everyone.

Mum starts her first 7 day cycle of Azacitidine today. Its a Thursday where I am and she'll be having one today and tomorrow and then having the weekend off (because the mobile nurses don't work weekends) and then continuing on for another 5 days. Is this normal? Should I request to take her to the hospital for injections on the Saturday and Sunday?

Also, we have been told that she will feel like a pin cushion toward the end of the cycle... Any magical remedies for the injection site to heal quickly? Rose hip oil was mentioned to us..

Thanks!

Emma
