There are a number of forms bronchiectasis can take, with the cystic version being among the rarer types. It means your bronchii look like a bunch of grapes. You can see a line drawing in this article:

Were you referred to a pulmonologist for followup?

Sue I did get to see a pulmonologist. He said my lung function tests were good. He didn't give me much information about my condition or how to manage it. He said I'd be more prone to Pneumonia and bronchitis and to make appointment if this occurs.
I've been reading posts on this site and I see a lot about cystic fibrosis. Is that related to cystic bronchiectasis?
