Jacqueline lives with Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis and this is her story, how she was diagnosed, how she was treated and her experiences while on several different antifungal drugs. Short history: A series of chest infections that stubbornly refused to clear up led to investigation and treatment for Tuberculosis, but after starting to cough up blood Jacqueline was diagnosed with CPA at the National Aspergillosis Centre, UK. The Global Action Fund for Fungal Infections (GAFFI) held a meeting in Liverpool in late 2016 and invited several people living with aspergillosis to tell their stories.
