Hi,

Sorry Brian, guess I should be more careful in my typing and read before I post. What I wanted to pass along was the drugs potential interference with the antitumorgenic effects of chemotherapy.

This is a quote taken directly from the website I referenced above.
"...Use with curative chemotherapy: Animal data suggest that amifostine may interfere with antitumorigenic effects of chemotherapy and amifostine is not recommended with curative chemotherapy outside of a clinical trial. Interference has not been seen in human studies of amifostine thus far.2,3 " Medline search gives similar more scientific info but, noone will say for sure.

I'll be more diligent in my proof reading in the future. Correct me anytime, no disrespect was ever even thought of Brian, I, like you want to only pass along timely accurate information. A lay person? My knowledge of your posts and information would make you more of an expert on Oc than anyone I am acquainted with.

Respectfully,

Mike
