I'm on the Big 3 plus Arikayce. Patient at UMN in partner with Mayo Rochester. CT with ID doc every 6 months (esophagus shield is a given at Mayo), sputum testing e/o week, and blood draw every month. Grateful my clinic lab is only 1 mile away, so I walk!

None of my doctors ever mentioned an esophagus shield and I was never offered one. I only found out about it after my last CT when they found nodules on my esophagus. I questioned my pcp about all the CTs my pulmonologist orders and that's when she told me about asking for a shield. Glad you're at Mayo and they're on top of it for you.
