Can anyone tell me if they received a drug called AMIFOSTINE? Been researching it and it is FDA APPROVED for head and neck cancer tx. Studies have shown very significant reduction in Mucositis if given 30 min before radiation and it protects kidneys if given before chemo. It does not affect the effect of radiation. I’m just amazed that I have not seen it mentioned before. Side effects are drop in BP and nausea but effects only last during the 15 min infusion. Anyone else heard or been given this Med?

Hi Judy!

I answered in another post you made in regards to this drug. Good luck
