This is tad of strange one AS soon as my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer HE developed fungus infection.
So having looked at my dad’s not to great blood under microscope 🔬 WAS doing some reading and Candida fungus is cancer caterlist WELL what I mean is Candida fungus helps cancer spread.
Anybody else had cancer dx also suffers from fungus infection befour or after.
When I had breast cancer, I was always getting fungal infections. I didn't put it down to the cancer, but chemotherapy. It shuts your immune system down while you're on it, so you get every infection around, even fungal ones. Hoping your dad's treatment is successful.
Hi cheers dad’s on no treatment but going to ask doc for anti fungus pills
Candida is a native fungus found normally in healthy people and is not a problem in itself.
When the glucose level of the blood is raised, and steroids can do this, the Candida gets out of balance and feeds on the excess glucose.
Many conditions and illness`s cause bodily function imbalance and thus prone to fungal infections and worse.
Hi cheers yer do know about that as my dad had diabetes well still dose AND is pritty well managed and that’s when fungus turned up with cancer dx.
update: tomorrow I’m at the hospital for suspected head & neck cancer
