Just checking in to see how all of you are doing. I have not seen anything from you in a while. Hope everyone is doing well.

I am recovering from pneumonia and fungus infection (and possible TB). I am lucky to still be breathing. I still have two pulmonary nodules on upper right lung - it seems more and more probable that they are cancerous. Maybe I beat the alcohol just to be taken out by the smoking (hehe).
I see the some people here asking for quick answers. There are none. Help yourself as best you can, be grateful for any activity at all on this forum. Many of us have more than we can handle ourselves just making it until tomorrow.
The (imo) only way to fight this disease is to search and read, search and read, and search and read more. Filter the information you find, be careful in all experimentation, and trust only water, proteins and carbohydrates.
Glad to be alive.

I am doing pretty well - all things considered. I have in recent months just been spending much less time on the 'boards'....
