Hi Susie,

After having a total glossectomy and right/left neck dissection, I had 37 rad treatments and had the dialy shot of amifostine. I was fortunate in that I was able to tolerate the amifostine and although not the most pleasant part of my day, I would do it all over again if I had to. I also remember the shots being very pricey but fortunately insurance covered it for me. Good luck to your husband and please know that although the journey is going to be long and tough, it is doable! Hang in there and know that we're here for you.

Hugs, Nancy
