I also wondered when this list was made and I looked for the date before I posted it. But I figured that the (drug) information would not have changed, even if it the post is not real current.

In regards to the "F" in CAF, it says that it has good tissue penetration and crosses the BBB, which surprised me, as I thought my onc told me that it does not cross the BBB. If it does cross, that could be an explaination for your brief period of blindness during treatment.
