I don’t think finding rare cells is uncommon. I’m only guessing, but imagine you’ll need to wait for final to find out if the fungus is enough to be a concern. I just looked back at my bronch from 2 years ago and had “a few” of 2 types in the final culture and they weren’t concerned.

It’s good they were able to get the plugs out. I’d probably try to increase airway clearance or exercise a bit to avoid them.forming. That said, it isn’t always possible to avoid them because our airways don’t function as they should. .
Hopefully some with more bronchoscopies in their journey will be able to help.

Thank you for sharing similar findings. That is very reassuring. I was nebulizing for a while with Acetycysteine but not producing anything plus developed lots of mouth sores. My pulmonologist advised to discontinue and try mucinex. I will reiterate my concern about airway clearance (learned from this group) when I get final results from him.
