i took ethyol shots everyday during treatment for all 28 treatments. i took zofran an hour prior. never really had any nausea that i could directly relate to that.
i'm 3 weeks out of treatment and so far I have an over-abundance of thick saliva, sometimes mixed with mucous. I hope that it did preserve some of my salivary function. So for no dry-mouth issues after 3 weeks, but the constant spitting is quite irritating.
