	Answer by Dr Bobby V, MD (oncologist) on Sat 29, Mar 2008 10:51am: Hi, In addition to what Dr Heinrik wrote in his reply to your previous post, I want to ask if you have got a chest XRay or CT scan during one of your recent chest infections? Did the images show any abnormality other than infection? The best way you can help yourself is to completely quit smoking. All the best!
