Very interesting conversations about the Amifostine. I've been on it about 4 weeks now. Preparing for my last Cisplatin treatment this week and not looking forward to the two combined again. I handled the Amifostine very well the first three weeks. Then, last week I started really getting ill about an hour and half after treatment. Not sure if the Amifostine is the root cause or not, but if it saves tissue I'm sticking 5 more shots out!! Thank you all for sharing.
