Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 It was so weird. I got what I thought was a cold 2 days before I was supposed to go on a 9 day cruise. If I’d have known how sick I was, it would probably have ruined the cruise. That was in September. I went to the doctor in October, because I wasn’t improving. I finally got around to getting a chest xray and on Nov. 30th my birthday the doctor called to say I had a mass in my lung…. And so it went…. Doctors know very little about aspergillus. My doctor wanted me to stay on a small dose of prednisone. I admit I could breathe better but I refused too, due to side effects. Currently I am supposed to be on Vfend, but I quit that again, also. I don’t really breathe all that well, but I am told that this is as good as it gets without staying on prednisone. I think apspergillus caused the bronchiectasis, because it was not mentioned when I had the mass at the top. I keep researching and researching. I read this list and an aspergillus list. Most people are on antibiotics. They take antifungals on the other list. Take care also. J Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
