At one year post treatment, my husband is pretty disappointed with the results of the Amifostine. It made radiation quite a bit harder to get through as he became quite sick from it - and now he doesn't see how he could have much LESS saliva. He was very stubborn with the Amifostine - refusing to skip any doses of it, even when the radiation nurses were almost begging him to. However, doctors tell him that one year is too soon to tell - that he could still regain some salivary function.

But everybody is different and I understand others have had good results with the Amifostine.
