4 May 2026Health & NHSdefensiveOh Richard! Inflammatory remarks may be good for Twitter but Bluesky is a friendlier place. As you can see from the photos I didn’t receive the injection and had to be cannulated to receive my dose. You know it’s being rolled out across England on the NHS. Next time: think before you type.
4 May 2026Health & NHSempatheticWith all treatments there will be some risk, I remember well the very long conversation with my oncologist before taking the first dose about the risks. But for the vast majority the side effects are manageable. I’m sorry to read you were one of the unlucky ones. 😔
