Thanks for sharing this. The diagnostics world is advancing quickly due to our exponential tech curve on DNA sequencing, but that's not going to solve the problem of needing a brain biopsy to diagnose...
Do you know if they did testing of easier material like cerebral spinal fluid first?
They did but couldn't detect the fungus from that so they proceeded to the biopsy. The surgeon said that the cerebral spinal fluid can get filtered quite a bit by the time it gets to the area where they do the tap which was why they couldn't detect it using that method.
