aspergillus fumigatus

I had pneumonia for about a year. It developed in the cavitation pneumonia. And then Aspergillus was growing in me. Tried to treat it with infusions every morning and night at the hospital. But I kept getting worse. So I had the upper two lobes in my right lung removed. They removed them from my back though a eight inch incision. That was in January 2021. I had CT last month and I don't have to have another one a year. Life is different but it's not over. Wish all the best.

Good to hear from you Jeff. My debris/fungal ball has been surprising stable with vfend for now 15+ months so I'll keep kicking surgery down the road as my quality of life has been equally surprising. I had a nasty bout with first time covid but it again, surprisingly, it did not effect my lungs.
