Diane’s Story

Coming Soon…

“In 2015, I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. After chemo and radiation, I had mold in my lung — aspergillus — likely from a leaky roof. I was treated with voriconazole and recovered in 2016.

Later, still feeling unwell, I found an advanced allergy lab in the UK. The report showed clear sensitivities — milk protein, milk sugar, avocado, gelatin, even iceberg lettuce. I give this report to every doctor I see.

In 2024, a new pulmonary doctor prescribed Spiriva Handihaler. After a few months, my chronic cough worsened. I thought the aspergillus had returned — but the real cause? Spiriva contains milk protein. My doctor had my allergy results — and still, she prescribed a med that made me sick.

After a bronchoscopy, they confirmed aspergillus again. I was put back on voriconazole — the same drug that helped me years ago. But this time, I developed a severe rash, sun sensitivity, and swelling.

I later learned: This version of voriconazole contained milk sugar. My doctor had no idea. Neither did I — until I looked it up myself. And yes, there’s a milk-free powder version… but no one thought to prescribe it.

As of July 9, 2025, I’m still suffering. Blisters on my feet, rashes on my scalp, arms, and back. I’m recovering, slowly — but this should never have happened.

That’s why I’m creating this app:
To help others avoid allergic reactions caused by hidden ingredients in their medications.
Because no one should have to go through what I did.”
