Fran’s daughter Elsa Rodger was diagnosed with Acute<br />
Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in 2006 when she was 2 ½ years<br />
old. Her treatment protocol was 2 ½ years – she began with the<br />
induction, then the two stage intensive chemotherapy. She is<br />
now in the maintenance stage. During her nine months of chemo<br />
she has some difficult side effect such as vomiting, mouth sores<br />
and weight loss. Fran says, “I remember at one point asking her<br />
what she wanted to be when she grew up, and she said, ‘When I<br />
grow up I want to be Elsa again.” Elsa is now coming towards the<br />
end of the treatment – she finishes in June and will be back to<br />
school next year.<br />
