Hi Kathy:
Welcome to the site, I was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer, stage 1, tumor was size was a 2, and had 40 radiation treatments only. Along with Ethyol to protect my saliva glands. I also was prescribed, and still take salegen. The Ethyol was given by injection instead of IV, to prevent severe nausea, and it worked well. I still have about half the saliva I use to, but I am lucky enough to still have it. I really believe that without the Ethyol I would not have as much as I do. My treatments were completed approximately 6 months ago. I am cancer free since the end of my treatment. A positive attitude goes a long way.
