Have they repeated the test for pseudomonas? It seems the latest protocols are to try to eradicate it before it can colonize in your lungs and become a long-standing problem.
Also, I was diagnosed for several years with "chronic bronchitis" and "intractable asthma" and thought I just needed to "learn to live with it." Finally, a sharp-eyed radiologist suggested a pulmonology consult dur to "indications of Bronchiectasis."
Are you being treated by a pulmonologist experienced in managing pseudomonas?
