Rare Toe Fungus

I have a rare toe fungus called Fusarium species. It appears that the Fusarium caused my toe-nail discolorations a while back. I think there is some live Fusarium in there, even though my nail almost looks back to normal. The doc says that my fungus is usually not pathogenic, but sometimes immune-suppressed patients can develop disseminated disease. I am not immune-suppressed though, I just had my blood count done and I have a decent amount of infection fighting cells. Next week my docs will confer and decide if I should get some harsh IV drugs to fight the fungus...it has to be harsh (on my liver) because this fungus is really tough...it has to be intravenous because a topical treatment would not penetrate to the center of the nail.

Other than that, my energy is returning and I am getting better rapidly. My hip still hurts a little, but it is getting better too. Getting back to normal is harder than I thought it would be. I still get really frustrated with not being able to move around as freely as before. Lately I have been thinking to myself "man, I can't believe I had cancer last year!". It is slowly shifting from an every day reality to a memory.
