I know there were some posts by people who had fungal infections/pneumonia. Just wondering if anyone had Aspergillosis.

I haven't heard from you in awhile so I am happy to see a post from you! That's awful you have this pneumonia! My dad has not had pneumonia but he is dealing with other issues as well. He had a severe reaction to blood he received and he was in the ICU for 2 days. I hate to hear you are going through all these infections but SO HAPPY they finally have you on those 3 medications (anti-viral-fungal-biotic). Since your white count has been low, now you have some back-up with these meds!! I hope for a speedy recovery and don't forget to exercise! Even just a short walk will really help. Talk soon!
