I would get bad hiccups sometimes from the amifostine. Is your husband taking amifostine? In my case, they usually went away about the same time the last of the amifostine would wear off--maybe 5/6 hours after the injection. I don't have any good solutions for curig them, especially when undergoing radiation and chemo at the same time.

Hang in there
