Recently diagnosed +1 Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

I’m a BE patient for 20 years recently diagnosed for the first time with Pseudomonas. Pulmonologist recommends 14 days of Cipro then 60 days of inhaled Tobrmycin. Interesting that the ID MD prescribed 21 days of Cipro without Toby. At present, I’m considering the pulmonologist’s idea. Reactions appreciated.

@johnwpatrick Did either doctor order a sensitivity test on the culture? Different strains of pseudomonas are sensitive or resistant to different antibiotics. Also, your pulmonologist may have more experience with treating pseudo in lung patients. It can be notoriously hard to beat.
