Hi Sue, thank you so much for posting this article. It's much appreciated. Here is the one that I referenced.

Your question about Abscessus being fast-growing is a good one, especially since my sputum has been positive for it for several years, but I did not feel unwell until last year, and now I'm feeling better again. I wonder if the speed of growth is related to whether or not the underlying cause is due to cystic fibrosis vs bronchiectasis? I also wonder if progression is impacted by previous infections? It's a question I will ask my pulmonologist.
