Thanks everyone. Great suggestions. I will get some of the "seasick" wrist bands and peppermint oil.

Eric really wants to try to keep going with the amifostine despite the nausea as he desparately wants to keep as much salivary function as possible. But it is difficult to consistently do something that he knows will make him feel very nausous and ill, particularly since these is no guarantee that the amifostine will accomplish its goal.

He is using the Biotene mouth rinse that Mark suggested (great suggestion Mark!!) and that already is helping. I ordered a case online. I also found a smoothie maker at Costco for $50 that claims to make smooth drinks much better than a traditional blender. When Eric is on blender drinks I will field test it and give a report

As always, THANK YOU for all the suggestions.... all of them are worth trying... I am grateful he is in treatment and moving closer to finishing the radiation course one day at a time.
