Hi FOlks,

Thanks, Eva, for your support and information.

I telephoned Mira Vista today.  They were very informative.  They said an antigen reading below 1 is considered negative; up to 4 is questionable and perhaps one could stop treatment; 4.7 (Mika's reading) means treatment should go on.

She suggested a retest every month was too often and that retest every 8 weeks or two months would yield meaningful information.

I asked re low dosage treastment for a long time since we're in blasto central and Mika is a digger.  Her response was emphatic.  "No!"  Her answer made sense.  She said if I treat with a low dose, I'll get the easy to kill fungus and leave the more powerful stuff thus creating a blasto monster (she said it better).  She likened it to misuse of antibiotics.  Finally have an answer to that one.

Hope this information is helpful to others.

Carol
