Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 52 | Hello Everyone, I wrote awhile ago about throat bleeding 5yrs. after BOT treatment.
I had an MRI done at UPMC which showed no sign of cancer. Since then have gone to HUP in Philly where I had biopsy that found cancer cells in two spots. I've 3 DRs. that will make joint effort to get me through this and am hoping for the best.
The reason I'm writing is my oldest Brother who was in donercyle accident 1 yr. ago has MRSA and is coming home to visit Mom on her day.
I'm wodering if, since I recently had biopsys taken, I should keep my distance from him??????
Has anyone here had a problem with MRSA or any other Staph infection?
Luck and best wishes to all of you
Marlene

Your question should be directed to your three docs.
