Pneumonia from fungal lung infection

My mother has metastasis spread to lung. She was receiving chemotherapy regularly. The last PET scan showed partial response. When cold weather started she suddenly started lot of dry cough. When admitted she got better and got discharge in 2 days . But again started feeling weak and breathless in a week. After admission she felt more breathless and shifted to ICU. In ICU one day felt better but again had to move to NIV support. She is on NIV support from 3 days with 80% fio2. Also fungal infection is detected by 3rd day. Viral infection is ruled out. She is on antifungal agents since. Initially doctor thought she will need mechanical ventilation but nowadays not saying so. Doctor is saying antifungal takes more time to work. How much time will she take to recover if not ventilated? What are chances to get out of it if her condition is stable from 3 days?

Do I have Bronchitis?

I am suffering with the problem of cough since long and have been visiting various doctors all through. But I did not get any solution for the same. I doubt whether I have been suffering from Bronchitis (as symptoms). Just for the information, I got cough mostly every morning and the mucus comes out to be thick and white in color. Also when I am unable to breath properly and breathing issue get severe i take "Maxiflo". rotacaps capsules for inhalation. Attached is the latest prescription and medicine i have been advised to take and it gave me some relief but still the issue has not cured fully. Looking forward for any solution or reference for any specialist (Delhi) where I can visit in order to cure this.

Pneumonia from 5 days in ICU

My mother is admitted in ICU from 5 days with NIV support. She is not getting better or worse. She also has stage 4 cancer. Duty doctor says it will take time but I think they are taking lot of time. She is on 80% fio2. They also found out fungal infection and viral infection is ruled out. Is there any way treatment can be faster at least to take her out of ICU? I think it is too much time in ICU.
