Good luck. :)

Husband and I were both shocked. An infection in the brain?

Now we'd heard of a brain infection, mostly from reading about that MRSP thing, that staph bacteria which has proven impervious to all modern antibiotics. A few years ago husband's own mother warned of infections to the brain caused by bad teeth. She begged her son to get his teeth fixed to avoid this very thing.

Which brings up the issue of husband's teeth and let me flash forward here. A subsequent MRI revealed FIVE abscesses on husband's brain. The guy was in serious condition and, indeed, as the infectious disease specialist brought in to help with the lung doc’s diagnosis, the infection from the pneumonia crossed into his brain via some open path in his teeth.

Huh. Okay. Another reason to do something about that.

Thanks for posting. Cancer is horrible. My 20 year old sister died 8 years ago of it. I’m glad things seem to be looking up.

Prayers up! A wonderful Christmas indeed. My very best to both of you.
