My husband endured the amifostine even though it made him very sick just about every time. I think he is happy he stuck with it, now. He has dry-mouth, but doctors tell us it is way better than most of their patients that didn't do the amifostime.

It seems like the chemo thrown into the mix makes the amifostine nausea even worse. But one thing he discovered was that getting out of the hospital and into some fresh air really helped. He would sometimes go outside after the amifostine and they would come get him when it was his turn for radiation.

Good for you...you are past the half way mark on the treatment!
