Definitely, I will let you know. Day 2 was yesterday, again, no upset. Did your doc say why she wants you to delay treatment? I was diagnosed nearly 14 years ago, was asymptomatic for 4 or 5 years after that. PFTs were always good, I'm otherwise in healthy, in good shape, and physically active. N pulmonologist EVER encouraged me to get treatment; all counseled against it. I had several pulmonologists because they kept retiring or moving on to a different hospital or clinic. In 2012, the protocol was 5x/week; that's part of why they were against it b/c of the toxicity and likelihood of recurrence. Now, protocol is 3x/week and current doc, who kept saying "you're doing great" so why treat, finally agreed after bronchoscopy showed definite increase in infection. That matched my subjective experience. Trust yourself, advocate for yourself, trust your doc if s/he has earned that.
