Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well it started off in 2002 they found a mass on her lung very small. they decided not to operate or do chemo she went to ucsf and such in 2004 they looked at her mass again it was shrinking on its own at this time they said it was cancer an adenocarcinoma. then in 2005 around janurary she started complaining harder and harder to breathe yet tumor so small was still shrinking. she then started becoming really out of it all of a sudden wouldn't respond, which to my mother was unimaginable she was not only a paralegal but itallian and talked so so much so this was strange. hospital discharge papers said allergic reaction to unknown substance whe would get better at hospital come home and get worse. then she started having racing heart beat fever reoccurent pnumonia that wouldnt respond to treatment. the hospital referred her to hospice but out of luck she demanded a culture of sputum and was referred to another specialist who founf aspergillus in her lung which he treated with itraconocozole. which made her feel awful it reacted with some of her breathing meds. she kept going into like small comas, docs kept releasing her never telling us why but looking at discharge papers said allergic response. in may 2005 my mom wigged out had her whole house tested for mold in the air, came back negative. She old me she was getting so much sicker so fast she said she knew it wasnt the cancer it felt different, I thought my Mom was just clinging to hope,she then after getting negative results said well it just must be me. She get really nonresponsive for a few days and was rushed to the hospice house, they were she would day with in the night her oxygen was up all the way, her breaths slowed to like 4 a minute, she was sweating and freezing whole bit. Next morning I woke up to find my mom sitting up painting her toe nails feeling great. She stayed at hospice house 2 weeks then she was doing so good they discharged her she begged she said please let me stay I feel so much better away from home. I told her to come to my house but she said no she went home. A week later she quit responding and they kept increasing morphine so she could be more comfortable and then she died June 7, 2005. I was so shocked. A year latter I started getting sick having hives couldnt swallow lost 60 lbs they doc kept discharging me allergic reaction to unknown substance we then realisex that our bathroom had been taken over by mold under the paint under the tile. then my fiance josh told me after we cleaned out my mom's rental house that she had previously tested for mold. he was hired to do the carpet and vinyl in the kitchen he moved the fridge and saw that there was so much mold the whole subfloor was rotten all hadto be torn out. he totally didnt think anything of it or about my mom's claims. then I realized he said same mold in our bathroom, aspergillus. we have moved and I am much better I did not get an infection from it just an allergy my mom being weakend had it grow in a fungal ball in her lung and it killed her, she was right. I should have listened more. My Mom was only 50 years old and her cancer was under 3 mm and shrinking never grew bigger in three years. No I know the aspergillus killed her. If you have it, MOVE NOW. It is somewhere in your house, and often times air tests clean but its there just hidden. aspergillus is no joke, even I statted getting out of it and non responsive due to it. Hope this helps her symptoms were strange confusion tachacardia, rapid heart beat sweating fever problems breathing poor circulation jodirego <jodirego@...> wrote: Would like to hear your mothers story, how she got sick, what treatment she sought and what happened?
