Yes. It appears you may be surprised that I did have the bronchoscopy while there.??? Are you??

I was told by my lead doctor that with doing it, Bronchoscopy, we could know what was going on inside my lungs...at least something like that was discussed. At the time I was there I had not found this Mayo site and was very overwhelmed with my diagnosis of BE and not knowing much about Bronchiectasis before going there. I probably would not have had it if I had had more information about it vs the fact that we did/do sputum testing to understand if we have an infection.
Thankfully all went well and it was a breeze during and after for me.

NJH is not as anti-bronchoscopy as some facebook groups would lead you to believe. It's a valuable tool that may be used in a difficult diagnosis.
