So sorry Sue for your loss.

So many things in life that we go through and do not realize at the time of how it is affecting us. Having to be caregivers for our loved ones and watching all they are having to deal with health wise and wanting to find ways to make it better for them can find ourselves in a loving caring environment that somehow is affecting and taking a toll on our own health.
Many of us have all been there and understand the experience of it all.
So, many factors come into play, some directly and some indirectly to cause health problems and possibly Bronchiectasis. My thoughts.
Wishing that all the good memories we hold of our loved ones help in bringing smiles to us when we most need one.

@sueinmn I share a similar story. My Dad had Parkinson's. His health started to dramatically declined, and all of his MANY doctors assumed it was the Parkinson's advancing. Nope. It was cancer. They found it "by accident" on a routine scan about 10 days prior to his death. My Dad spent 15 reasonably healthy years with Parkinson's, always mobile and active, yet also always very worried about his prognosis (understandably). But in the end his health deteriorated from an entirely unrelated illness. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Carpe diem!
