Blood cultures have remained clear but we do not have further details on the sinus or leg cultures or biopsy. I expect it will be mid to late week before we have more information. I tolerated the powerful, new antifungal well on Saturday. Thank you for praying. Fungal infections take many leukemia patients' lives. As one specialist told me, "A fungal infection for you is the devil." I ask for your continued prayers for God's protective Hand to cover me and to protect my organs from both the infection and the medication. This medicine can cause heart and liver failure, so I will be monitored closely.
My oncologists' nurse called this morning and Anthem is going to pay for my IVIG treatment, so I will be receiving that tomorrow all day. This is the treatment that can give my own immune system a boost to help fight infection.
Keep trusting and believing with me.
