I have stable bronchiectasis, so unless I have an exacerbation I neb saline twice a week. I use an inhaler and do airway clearance every day.

Sue-
When you say you have stable bronchiectasis, can you explain. I think I know what you mean but not sure I am right.
My Oct. CScan showed two areas of improvement but one new area showing plugging in the lower left lobe. Working harder to get better CScan results next time, which means, apparently, I won't fully know until a year if I improved due to the once a year CScan.

Hello Sue - I have just started the plan of 2 puffs of Albuterol, followed 15 minutes later with 1 vial of 7% saline in the nebulizer. I know many of you do this twice a day, but I see that you do it twice a week. Can anyone out there speak to the issue of every day, versus twice a week? Or once a day versus twice a day. I imagine this all comes down to trial and error but I would be interested to know if doing the saline and albuterol less than twice a day, every day, has paid off for people. Pam in Sudbury
