Re: Does fungal infection creat PUSS??????????

[Guest guest]

was it white puss? I have a few cysts in my sinuses and when they

swell and leak it's a white pussy type stuff.I also get other type

sometimes from csf leaks, a clear watery, but that wouldn't happen in

the pancreas. yellow may be bacterial,could be both.thinking I read

that bacterial may also have blood. sorry, can't remember. I dont

know if you'll find much but maybe " fungal infection,white puss "

search. add ,pancreas and see if anything comes up. I didn't realize

that ick,wha my fish died from was fungal, white spots all over them,

while in my moldy house too. I think they are required by law to keep

samples of anything removed for 5 years.

I posted this link before, but it may give a little insight to your

puss situation. http://www.apthorrors.com/worse.html

I remember reading that he had VERY large cysts drained from his neck

that were FULL of puss.

Best wishes to you...

They keep your sample for like 20 years so dont worry about that. You can send

it to Dr. Hooper at realtimelabs. i would give him a call and he will explain

what to do. We had discussed sending the biopsy from my lungs and ars there but

I ran out of the financial ability to do anything. Anyway, when I can that is

exactly what I am going to do.

Actually what I meant was that doctor is not investigating because

liquid extracted is clear and doesn't contain puss, but I feel

inflamation there for a long time there. That's why I went for a

catscan. A feeling of swelling, inflamation in lower back. MRI says

pancreas looks a little funny but picture isn't good and sees tiny cyst

which this sample was taken from, but doctor is not sending sample to

be checked by Pathology Dept because he said " there is no puss " . He

said it was clear so he isn't sending it but they got it by sending

needle through my stomach into my pancreas, hardly something I will

have done again soon so I feel they should send it to Pathology. He

said they will check it again in a year but I won't have it done again

again since I don't like much testing as it causes health problems all

by itself. In fact sensation of inflamation/swelling spread day after

procedure so think whatever it is, biopsy spread it, which often

happens, but cyst was tiny so hopefully this will not be big, big

deal. I didn't report that sensation of inflamation spread up my back

or am pressing it since my reading up on pancreatitis tells me all they

do is give you digestive enzymes since your pancrease doesn't produce

adequate amounts of digestive enzymes if there is inflamation, so they

treat the symptom of indigestion and ignore the pancreatitis if it is

chronic. I obviously don't have acute pancreatitis or I would have

fever, etc, but chronic low level pancretitis, inflamation, is a

condition that can cause cancer, so I'm concerned...but why struggle

with them when the reward for being diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis

will get me digestive enzymes, but I wish they had sent to Pathology

Lab. I asked both doctors involved, so thinking of sending it for

second opinion to a fungal doctor. There is good reason to believe I

could have infection there, as there was injury, but I won't go into

that story here, but I did to them.

This sounds very simular to a little large pea size bump I used to have at the

base of my throat. When they put a needle in to biopsy it they said it just

disapaited and was just liquid so they couldny biopsy it. I thought that was

wierd but it has not come back and from what I know it has not caused any other

issues. It sounds like they got something to test from you though correct.

OMG. I did not see this if you did post before, thank you.

 

Some of you might remember a post from me not long ago about a lady from our

church that had a lump in her side and ended up dyeing of cancer in a very short

period of time. This so sounds and looks like what happened to her.

I hope that doesn't happen but lump is not visible or able to be felt w

hand from outside. It is a feeling inside. Cyst shown in imaging is

teensy but I can feel a larger sense of broader area inflamation that

doctor is ignoring. To that he said I could not possibly FEEL the cyst

as it's so tiny, but I told the imaging people to please make sure they

got a picture of that area since it is why I went for catscan, feeling

of numbness or tingling or inflamation, hard to discribe but has been

going on for 4-5 months that I was hoping would go away on its own. I

have the Rx for catscan for another purpose but since I avoid getting

xrayed I filed it away but when I got this feeling of swelling in my

side, I went it for it and asked them to please get good picture of

that area. The tiny cyst was found who decided to dismiss it based on

it's size. He said it's too tiny for you to feel. I said but I have a

general feeling of swelling there and he felt with his hand and then

said he didn't feel anything and so dismissed it again. Its another

case of doctor dismissing patients as imagining things. All I asked

was they send liquid extracted from cyst to Pathology to make sure

there isn't something that can be done, like infection. Otherwise it

is not do anything and hope it goes away but I already did that by

waiting many months before reporting it. I do this because I don't

want alot of testing for something that may disappear on it own. Well,

I'm going to try to see if I can get someone to do testing on the

substance drawn out of cyst.

Yes there is enough liquid to test but my predicament is that they only

did a cancer marker test on it, a CEA test and not a test for

pathogens, didn't send it to Pathology to be looked at. I have reason

to believe pathogens could be involved. Won't go into the story here

but want it looked at for pathogens. Otherwise I just have to assume

it is either nothing or cancer and just wait to see which, which

doesn't give me many options. Thanks for people input and I will call

down to RealTime Labs to see if they can exam for a second opinion.

Thanks for that suggestion.

sometimes cysts come back after draining if they didn't get out what

is causeing it, sometimes they have to be removed includeing some

tissue around them. a biopsy itself is a sore and you could get a

infection from the biopsy. hard to say if that clear liquid well show

anything as the cause. let us know if you do what they find. hope you

get to felling better.

Thanks Jeanine and others for your input. I'll report back on outcome.
