@scratssun & @kssunflower Hello, I understand your concern about more bronchoscopies - a CT can show whether the signs of infection- cavities, nodules and opacities- are getting better, worse or staying the same. However they cannot tell what is infecting your lungs. For that you require a sputum culture.
Now what? Is your doc making a recommendation?

Thanks, Sue, for your answer. I will schedule a broncoscopy when I return to AZ if I'm still unable to get a sputum sample.
