I see one doctor for both NTM and bronchiectasis. Both the local pulmonologist and Infectious Disease doctors did not feel they could treat me. Therefore I travel close to 400 miles one way to the Pulmonary Clinic in Tyler.
All my monthly sputum samples are sent to the great lab at UT Tyler just as they had been when the Pulmonary Fellows were treating me at BAMC in San Antonio. Any other labs are completed locally.
