Velcade SubQ Does injection site mater?

Does it matter where you get a subQ Velcade shot? I have always had it in the back of my upper arms. I have read others normally do stomach or legs. I think the millenium paperwork states stomach and legs.

Chris,
I have been doing the shots since the first of March with one week off. I started with the arm but switched to the stomach. I think the stomach is better (not as big a sting) for me because of additional "tissue" in that area.
