@visions63 I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis with a 3 cm cavity left upper lobe a year ago. I've been on the big 3, currently started on clofazamine, and nebulized amikacin, along with azithromycin and ethambutul. Will get another CT in July. I've spoken with the surgeon and he stated that due to location, it is a very risky procedure (close to pulmonary artery, heart) with comorbidity at 30%. I'm uneasy about having the procedure. Glad to hear yours went well. I live in Oregon.

@legacygsh1 I’m on all those. Did the amakacin. Caused some hearing loss. So stopped it. But on the other 4 still. Clofazimine seems to be helping. Been on it 4 months now.
