Slow growth
Hi, I have a 16 year old daughter who has Cystic Fibrosis. This has caused her growth over the years to be very slow and she is currently 4'11. My daughter really wants to take growth hormones in order to grow taller. I was wondering if growth hormones would be an option for her or if it is too late to gain any height from them because she is 16. I don't know if it's relavent, but she first started getting her menstrual cycle when she was 13. She grew a centimeter in the past month which means that she is still growing. Thanks for your help
