Has anyone experienced bronchoscopy with lavage? I have bronchiectasis and possible Mac. In addition, I have asthma as well.

I have had lots of bronchoscopies with lavage since 2016. I am always dry as a bone and couldn’t spit if my life depended on it. I have had MAC ( notice I write have had), aspergillosis, pseudomonas, bronchitis, pneumonia, cancer, and RSV. Having a bronch is good if you can’t give a culture and nothing to worry about I don’t think. My MAC is finally gone after diagnosis in 2016. - treatment with the Big 3 and Arikayce, and then finally gone in 2022. MAC was tough to get rid of - for me. A bronch is a good and safe diagnostic tool. Wishing you well. Irene5
