Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 I'm of th belief that a CLLer can more easily catch an infectious disease like pneumonia (which is blamed for about 70% of CLL deaths) in a colder climate. So that's why I stay put in Hawaii. But I have had 2 bouts of pneumonia during my 5 1/2 years with CLL. So my own theory is bogus as it relates to me. I would rather be in NYC with far superior med. facilities and CLL specialists; but the climate intimidates me @ my stage of progressive disease. So I'm a captive audience in Hawaii. Beats being a captive audience in Alaska, methinks. You all be well . Hal Skye. From: Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 11:47 PM Subject: Digest Number 793 Messages In This Digest (4 Messages) 1a.

Immunity and weather Posted by: "pdstroup" pdstroup@... pdstroup Wed Nov 29, 2006 10:13 pm (PST) Hi all--My friend is interviewing for various positions around the country. He was diagnosed in August and is on w & w. He is wondering if he should consider location in his job choice based on weather and its possible impact on his likely compromised immunity. Is that something to actually consider or is it just overthinking all of this? --Patty Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity 1 New Members Visit Your Group Quote
