Also a genetic workup for CF and primary ciliary dyskinesia. And any other risk factors as you are young to have this
I had three years of antibiotics including Arikayce and last positive culture was 21/2 years ago. Now just airway clearance and lots of exercise.
Good luck- treatment works for many and you might tolerate it more easily than those of us 60 plus!

Thank you @dulwich
Can I ask you how old were you when you started therapy?

I am 74 years old and was diagnosed with BE when I was 16. I was a classroom teacher for over 20 years and though exposed daily to kid's colds and sniffles, I managed to do just fine. The few minutes you spend doing daily airway clearance will ensure that you will be able to care for 2 children, as I did, and live a full life.
