Awhile back, I read an article on this site about Amifostine as a preventative measure for xerostomia.

I spoke to my husband's RO about it, and he dismissed the idea. I don't remember why. So, I plan to bring it up again at tomorrow's appointment.

I'm curious, for those of you who have finished radiation, do you think the Amifostine helped you? I'm wondering how hard I should push for this in light of the fact that they have told us there will be long term xerostomia.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
