New Bronchiectasis diagnosis - need advice

I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis more than 6 months ago and an MRI shows a very small tumor on my left lung. I really like my Pulmonologist but he has said nothing about treatment for the bronchiectasis; instead ge changes my asthma inhaler dosage. I'm really concerned about the bronchiectasis because I know so little about it. I'm fatigued most of the time and having more difficulty breathing but I'm more irritated at the fact that I feel neglected when it concerns my lung issues. Suggestions anyone?

There is information and addresses for the Centers of Excellence on threads here on Mayo Clinic Connect or Google: Bronchiectasis Centers of Excellence usa. I don't have the information fully but it can be found on a thread here or by googling. Maybe someone else has the exact address for them and will post it again. These are the centers that should have doctors (pulmonologists) that concentrate, more, so on BE, Bronchiectasis.
