This fungal infection has been going on for months now. I have been told that is is Candida Krusei, a similar form to Candida Albicans. The body can usually cope with fungal infections, creating anti-bodies to deal with them just as it would with any other ill-ness. A compromised immune system allows the infection to get out of hand. Despite the chemo I received my immune system seems ot be very good at fighting things like colds but I just can seem to shake off this candida.
Yesterday I noticed some spots at the base of my spine and on my right hip. I found this quite alarming as I am doing various things to fight it but obviously I am not doing enough. I dug out the book 'Conquering Cystitis' by Dr. Patrick Kinglsey - the doctor who treated me about 2 years ago when I was secondly diagnosed with cancer - he has since retired. There is a lot of incredibly useful inforfation in there relating to all sort of problems that you wouldn't think were fungal.
I have decided to do a 5 day fast starting next Monday. I will eat nothing, and I can only drink water. I have done some further reasearch and while it won't be a pleasant experience, it will be extremely benificial. I feel I need to do something extreme to nip this i the bud before it gets even more out of hand. Therefore I am not planning on doing anything at all next week that involves leaving the house as I'm sure my energy will be down.
I shall report my findings in this very space...
