Hi Michael, Thanks for the advice but it is a bit late. I finished radiation four and 1/2 weeks ago. I ended up taking about four days off from the amifostine entirely. My stomach was so messed up from that and the chemo on top of that. Then for the last two weeks, I did the amifostine every other day.

I'm not sure how much good it did yet. I am taking salagen to bring back some salivary function right now but my mouth is very dry sometimes (when it isn't still filled with the icky phlegm) and it's too early to say what my salivation will be like in a year. My rad oncologist seems to think I took it frequently enough that it should help me.
