Potential tomato blight--is there a cure mid-season?

I think I may have tomato blight...TOTALLY not happy right now...I know it is a fungus and like damp conditions...with the hot sunny weather we've had in New England and given the fact that my garden faces full sun all day it's hardly wet and damp.  Are there any "cures" mid season other than removing my plants?  Will cutting off the diseased sections work or do I need a fungicide?  HELP!!!!

  • found this online from last year's epidemic:

    Authorities recommend that home gardeners inspect their tomato plants for late blight signs, which include white, powdery spores; large olive green or brown spots on leaves; and brown or open lesions on the stems. Gardeners who find an affected plant should pull it, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it away, not compost it. Unaffected plants in home gardens and commercial fields should be sprayed with fungicide to prevent the spread of the disease. (More information can be found at a Cornell Web site, http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu.)
