Hi
Yes, I had 4 methotrexate injections as precautionary also into my spine. Since I'm stage iv he just wanted to do 4 of the 6 rchop treatments. It wasn't horrible, but I was really glad when it was over.

I am going to the hospital next week for my first dose of methotrexate. It sounds scary but I am going to a hospital where they do the infusion regularly. Good luck to all!
Because I have lymphoma in the CNS, I have had a few methotrexate injections. It is a lumbar puncture done in the hospital by an interventional radiologist. I just had one yesterday and it went fine. Just make sure you lie down flat for several hours to avoid the nasty spinal headache. I need to have 3 more lumbar punctures. They take out spinal fluid to see if there are cancer cells in the fluid. Then the methotrexate is injected. All of my lumbar punctures have gone well. Good luck.

I have never had that but I’m currently taking an injection in my stomach once a week of low dose Methotrexate. I had LBC of the Central Nervous System in my brain and I currently am in remission as well. Saying prayers for you! Blessings~
Never heard of it but I’m happy for you. Remission is great I’m sure, I think I’m close to being there. God bless and be safe
