Cancer Treatment = Wrinkle Cream?

I was reading the online news this morning and came across an interesting article that seem to indicate that the topical chemotherapy Bob was using also holds promise as a wrinkle cream! 

Treatment with fluorouracil cream did cause the hideous "road rash" as expected, but after the treatment was stopped and the rash healed, actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous rough patches of skin) were greatly reduced and other types of skin damage were greatly improved. This includes wrinkles and dark spots (what some of us call "liver spots"). Another article about the same study also suggests that general skin color also improved from being sallow (yellowish) to a healthier pink. Still other articles say that the recovered skin is also much softer. 

An LA Times blog makes sure to note that the 2-week treatment is "no day at the spa," but goes into more detail about the effects of the treatment as well as the underlying causes of improvement.

So, as Magie indicated in an earlier post, there's a good reason that Bob's head looks better than it has in many months!
