Angel Dust - if only.
PCP is a farely rare form of Pneumonia known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. It is most common in HIV/AIDS patients and immuno-compromised cancer patients. Mine arrived after being on prednisone and imuran, along with completing 8 cycles of treatment with rituxan, so I was pretty darned compromised.
For people that are not immuno-compromised, ironically, the illness frequently has very poor outcomes, but for those of us "lucky enough" to have good doctors watching over us becuase of MDS, it can be found, treated, and remedied pretty reiliably.
