David,

Good luck with this go around with the radiation. I also had a daily shot of amifostine for all 37 treatments (they injected in the upper hip/butt area). The only "problem" I had, if you want to call it that, is that the area where they injected would become sore but I alternated from one hip area to the other each time. I still use the flouride trays that my dentist made each night and so far all my checkups with my dentist have been great. Keep us posted and I'll be thinking of you while you make your way through this part of your journey.
