Actually, I think the amofostine delivered via IV could be the best way to go. My husband had a PICC IV line "installed" and so didn't go through the painful injections that others have mentioned. It was a simple matter of hooking the drug up to the line. Only drawback was having to keep the line clean and flushed. (And, at one point, the line became infected and had to be replaced.)

Julie, I told my husband about the return of some saliva for your husband after 2 years and he was pretty excited. He had given up hope of dry mouth ever subsiding. Good to have that glimmer of hope, anyway.
