I believe it’s his nose and maybe lungs my aunt , Dads sister,
Is older and this is like a 2 year journey for her with his illness . The fungal thing/part was missed apparently…had to move between states mid treatment so, maybe a gap in care … Don’t know. 
He has leukemia …apparently fungal infections are common with the therapy , they didn’t know that or they may have been more cautious , and maybe asked their doc about anti - fungal (prophylactic therapy)
Well he he is infected now with unknown fungus as above , uncertain pathology. @StonedCold13

I am no doctor, but I do not think cannabis is particularly helpful for either. Most fungal infections of the body are no joke and can be fatal, take years to cure, and require strong antifungal medicines that can make you feel sick.
Leukemia is blood cancer that requires strong radiation to “nuke” your bone marrow. Then resetting it with bone marrow transplants. Some stages of treatment you do not want to use steroids (antiinflamitory drugs) and cannabis is exactly that. In fact during some stages this could be the opposite of helpful reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
I know just enough to be dangerous. And I love the medical uses of cannabis. Please 
make sure to RUN this by his primary doctor before giving him any cannabis.
Needless to say it must be clean and free of any molds or mildews or you may just make his body worse. If the doc is cool w it, I would find some strong rick Simpson oil or strong alcohol Cana extract to make him feel better by make his body very relaxed. This would be more for his comfort than curative. I have never heard of cannabis for treating fungal infections. And the timing of leukemia treatment is super important to not make his treatment impotent.

Crazy how much of my life finds others fighting the same or similar battles.
For the past six weeks I have been battling staph and fungal infections. I did hours / days of research. My conclusion is, cannabis has natural anti-fungal properties. However, they interfere with any anti-fungal medication. My symptoms continued to worsen until I quit cannabis. Now they are slooooowly going away. Research is limited so the results are somewhat inconclusive without further studies.
Yeah… went to the lake an picked up staph folliculitis. The treatment kills off everything which allowed bad fungus to colonize my body. Now I’m bathing three times a day in Hibiclens and once a day with Selsun blue, which I have to let sit for 10 min. This is in addition to oral antibiotics & antifungal along with topical prescriptions for both as well.
Doc says I need to wait at least 30 days after the last visible symptom before I do anything that will cause me to sweat.
If that’s not enough I broke my leg about three weeks in. Not feeling to lucky these days.
Bottom line… I would not use any cannabis while fighting any infections. There’s just not enough data out there. For me there was an obvious “turn the corner” moment within 24 hours after stopping my usage.

I second all you’ve said, and just want to mention… absolutely tell the doc if you’re using.

These are just a few articles I found during my research. So, Sativa with a high CBD content? Don’t smoke but use a clean tincture or edibles.
Also, stay away from processed food and anything containing yeat (like breads).
