(Amifostine and IMRT were not an option for me way back when...) I've gotten into a routine that includes Salagen (regularly for the past 13 years), Biotene products, sugarless gum and making sure a water supply isn't too far away. If any one of them is missing, I notice a little bit of a change; if all of them are missing, I'm in trouble.
