How did the bronchoscopy help and exactly what steroid helped. Thank you very much for your help which could possibly help my husband.

During the bronchoscopy, the pulmonologist washed out my lungs, clearing out all the mucous generated by MAC, bronchiectasis and the resulting inflamation. Next, I took Prednisone. Prednisone is the steroid of choice, which is not good for bone density, but the combination worked. I was no longer severely tired (couldn't get up the stairs), minimal breathlessness and actually felt good.
