My daughter had MRSA in her right lung 3
years ago.
At the time she was operated on and a
little less than a 1/3 of that lung was removed. The surgeon removed the
infected tissue.
She was of course treated with a cocktail of
medicines.
I was told that she is cured and that
since everything was seemingly been removed it will NOT return.
We recently had a checkup and she was
still “cured”.
We are careful and vigilant and so are the
doctors BUT she is cured…
So I was led to believe and I am hoping
with all my heart that it is true. 3 years it has been so.

new...respiratory MRSA
They found mine during a bronchoscopy, they took cultures from my
lungs, bronchials and trachea. I have it in my respiratory system.
Does anyone else here have it in their lungs or respiratory system?

Just a bit confused. Please clarify.
