There are some people on this board, who would NOT see a longer half life as an advantage robinleigh smile

But seriously, interesting idea to dose once a day for 14 days for H&N C(which is when longer half life becomes an advantage). My concern with this article is the doctor's suggestion of being "one of the safest drugs around" (translation: few side effects) ... I beg to differ. What about walking around with an erection for 14 days? And the crushing headache both formulations come with? And isn't there risk of heart attack for those with dicky hearts? Granted the side effects are minimal compared with radiation, but a bit of a misleading statement in my opinion.
