thanks stoj,
yeah IMRT is limited in its availability here although i was told it would not be of much advantage here as they want a wide filed of radiation to cover the neck and lowr shoulder area anyway.

I would like to hear from those who have amifostine, is it administered concurrently and in what form (pill or IV etc)...
Does it make a significant difference to saliva production ?
thanks
