Pneumonia is very serious and deadly! It is NOT cureable

It looks like Heath Ledger also had this, but sadly he died from overdose, not through this illness. And now, Bernie Mac had this same problem, but he died from it. He was middle-aged too. This is so devastating.

I don't know what kind of drugs the OP is on, but pneumonia is very curableprovided it is in a healthy adult and is caught early. Pneumonia is not lung cancerit is NOT a death sentence. My grandpa died from pneumonia last decemberbut that's because he was 87, was bone thin, had really bad dementia, and had it in BOTH lungs. He he been younger and more healthy in general (and had not wanted to die), he probably would have recovered.
What happened to this young actress is that she was misdiagnosed several timesjust as Heather O'Rourke was misdiagnosed many times before dying of a bowel obstruction.

I am sorry to inform you, but the OP is correct. As a doctor (I am a neurosurgeon not a pulmonary specialist) I know of the many and varied strains of the illness. Death from pneumonia is more common than people think. It it more likely that the very young and old will die from one of the strains, but young and healthy people can be struck down as well. This is on the rise with MRSA strains. Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in the world, people just aren't as aware of the danger of pneumococcal illness in the developed countries.
