the website you referred to is from a college of veterinary medicine
and seems to refer to the pharmacology/study of drugs in animals

here is the website:

This chemotherapy is not for the human animal!
You are right, Lani, and I just did some more checking. I had noticed the words on the website, but rationalized that all of those cancer drugs/animals didn't add up; and the website was prefaced by "clinical pharmacology of specific cancer chemotherapy" which led me in the wrong direction.

Sorry folks!

Post One site for info
Barbara, this seems like a good reference site, from Ontario, Canada. I note that one drug I found here was updated as of 9/07.

A.A.

P.S. Seems like an appropriate topic today -- I did my first chemo on March 12, 2002.... six YEARS ago... CAF

AlaskaAngel, that was a very good site and I bookmarked it. I checked on the Flourouracil and yes, it does cross the BBB. Good news, but I don't think that drug is used much any more.

Thanks for the assist!
