I am considering the gel, as I cannot yet bring myself to consider injections. Does any one have any experience or advice on this?

Hey DW, I felt the same way about
injections. But after a few of them, it bacame no big deal.
Its just another one of the things that we thought we would never do but PCa changed our mind.

HI Dw,
Go with an auto-injector and you will easily get past the injection problem, I was there and never thought I could ever go to Trimix. I never see a needle enter my skin which is fine by me

DW,
I tried trimix gel a few months ago and would not recommend it for a couple of reasons. I too didn't think I could give myself a shot but found out that I could with hardly any pain at all. The trimix is very expensive, around $25 per pop, as I believe I got 6 uses in my packet. Also they wouldn't ship to my state (Missouri) as they weren't licensed so I had to have it shipped to a friend who lived in Arkansas, then have them mail it to me....kind of a pain as far as I was concerned. When I did get it I had minimal effectiveness with it, in fact it was difficult to use and worked poorly. JMHO....jwb.

Thank you for the kind responses - it's a difficult decision for me. I realize others face larger challenges, but the advice & encouragement are appreciated.
