I had Pneumonia about five years ago after my Immune System took a crash after my last round of Chemotherapy.
The only thing that saved me was Plasma Infusion Therapy. Took five different Antibiotic Regimens that did absolutely nothing.
Took a long while to recover from it. Unless Whoopie was off the Show for a few weeks, I’m sure she is “coloring” her story for dramatic effect.
Reports are she's been off the show for over a month. Since February 5.
