So you had the ethyol shots and you're still having that problem Nellie? That sucks and doesn't speak well of the Ethyol (isn't that part of it's intended effect)?

My radiation nurse recommended 2 tablespoons of glutamine powder, 2-3 times a day which I believe is for that side effect.

Diagnosed 6/05. Stage III SCC of the oral tongue. Nodes showed negative upon biopsy. 7/25/05 started Chemo of Cisplatin & Erbitux & 30 IMRT Sessions + daily Ethyol. 12/9/05, 75% hemi-glossectomy. Recovering since.
