I see pulmonologist every 6 months now, but saw him every three for a few times at beginning. Note:I'd been to Mayo and was getting stable before I got into Penn. I get a PFT before each visit. I had 2-3 CT's at 12 month intervals, but it's been 18 months since last. PFT's are good and I don't expect another soon. I usually have labs at other MD's and take pertinent ones. I have a couple sputum cups and a standing order for culture, but rarely get anything. My bronchoscopy culture for MAC a couple years ago was negative to the surprise and delight of all of us, so am just dealing with BE. : )

Thanks.
One more question.
Did you start out with an infection and cleared it and why you were getting stable before going to Penn? Did getting stable mean you took the antibiotics? I can't remember if you have posted about that in another thread.
Your journey sounds like all has/is working for you. Nice to hear that.
