Terry,
My husband stubbornly stuck with the Amifostine 5 days a week for all 37 radiation treatments...even though it made him pretty sick (but he was also on chemo, so the combination may have made it worse).

Frankly, he is fairly disappointed at how little preservation of salivary function he has (at about 1 and 1/2 years out from treatment). ENT tells him more could still come back.
