I am so pleased your fiance ignored the first medical advice you had and took it further. I think most of us know when that is necessary as we know ourselves. With the right treatment you should get well soon. And many, many congratulations on giving up old Nic O'Teen!

Hi & welcome! I hope you're feeling better soon. The best possible thing you can do is stay off the ciggies. The antibiotics will get rid of the pneumonia but to keep as healthy as you can you must not smoke again. It's very hard but if you find you're having problems go to your GP who can prescribe help for you. Take care
