@sueinmn I agree with you. I believe in the antibiotic treatments if pulmonary tell us it is necessary. People would now also be encouraged to continue their airway clearance etc.
Sometimes there just aren’t any other options and to not include antibiotics in treatment, would definitely mean more scarring and worsening of disease in some cases.
Thanks for the update of latest news about Bronchiectasis.
As more cases are confirmed around the world, more research dollars and attention might be directed to improve the lives of people with Bronchiectasis and lessen the burden of cost to the healthcare systems. I see that mentioned in many articles.

Well said, however, you said if it is vital to healing! It is still a trial of some sort not a given to heal yet. Help, yes maybe? Correct me if I’m wrong? I agree with what you said but we are all different. My dad refused chemo, I have friends who said they wish they never agreed to chemo. I don’t want to be negative, these are all personal choices we make. When I comment, they are my feelings, rest assured. I am not advising anyone else here to not try what’s on offer. We all have different strengths, some cope, some don’t. Every individual must choose their own path!
