@sunnirivers Dr. Swenson has a podcast on BE/NTM that is fabulous. NTMTalk. Honestly, he seems like the BEST. A 6 month wait at the designated care centers is pretty standard. I have gone to two (out west) and in both cases it was a 6 month wait for my initial appointment. Cancellations do happen, but are pretty rare. When you’ve waited 6 months for an appointment, you tend to make it, come hell or high water. Dr Swenson is speaking at next week’s NTM conference hosted by NTMir, which you can still sign up to attend virtually. (https://connect.ntminfo.org/events/event-description). If you can get in earlier at UNC, worth doing so, but honestly I think I would still see Dr Swenson, if only for another opinion ( if you can swing it). If he weren’t so far away from me (literally opposite coast) he would be top of my list.
