Guys,
Is this Ehtyol the same as amifostine?

Karen, welcome, if it is , it can be very toxic to some folks. My hubby only managed 5 infusions before having to quit due to intractable nausea.
He also says he wishes he had persevered with it if there was any chance it may have saved any of his salivary glands.

Anti-nausea medication can be given either just before or with the amifostine infusion.

Hang with us a while Karen there is lots of information on here for you.
Take Care
