Karen,
My husband had Ethyol every day of his radiation. Yes, it usually made him sick - at least for the couple hours following. But I think he is glad that he stuck with it - the doctors tell him he has a little more saliva than their patients that didn't stick with the ethyol. Every little bit helps.

Good luck to your mom. This is a tough treatment, but she can make it.
