Retinoic acid





Ellen is doing really well. She has been enjoying her new found freedom without her Hickman line. Sadly she is having another one put in on Tuesday. She will then start her Retinoic acid. This will be twice a day for two weeks followed by a two week break for six cycles. We will give this at home so hopefully no need to stay in hospital! The main side effect will be dry and pealing skin mainly on the face. We have been assured that this will not hurt her but will look somewhat unsightly. It is lucky Ellen is so little and will hopefully not care.
