[QUOTE="Geraldine24, post: 440987, member: 86699"] Hi again I asked about the injection and was told that Avastin is available to me if I need it. I seen the specialist on friday and she told me that she can see regression of the fragile veins in my left eye so at least I know the laser is working. I had more laser done on my right that day and she told me to come back in 4 weeks to review my right eye and if there are signs of regression we will continue with more laser and if not I will be given the Avastin injection and will be brought back within 14 days to get more laser. I am happy enough with what I have been told and look forward to returning to the hospital in a few weeks. Ive had a bleed in my left eye it is annoying but they seem to clear up after a few days so just hoping that everything goes ok and I really am a bit freaked out about the thoughts of maybe having to get an injection into the eye. Can anybody tell me what they experienced while they got the injection, thanks :) [/QUOTE]
