Pam: I been reading over your posts and have some comments.
First, you will need some assistance during treatment most because of the fatigue. I think I slept 20/24 hours a day. So you'll probably need some help with preparing foods you can eat, and other household chores.
Second: Ethyol is a drug used to help protect your salivary glands, but it has really nasty side effects.
