Hi Ling,

After the lung surgery, my lung infections were less severe and more generalized in my whole lungs. Never-the-less, the cycle of lung infection continued unabated. Truthfully, I might have never gotten the surgery if the antibiotic resistance had gotten figured out ahead of time. That said, I think in the long run I'm better off with the B.E. removed frome being a vector for future infections, especially as I age. The reason I'm posting about this here is that I hope to prevent others from suffering long term resistant infections disguised as asthma, severe BE, and chronic bronchitis. It would be worth a shot at taking stronger antibiotics if you have constant exacerbations just to rule out a potential cause.

My lungs are completely clear. I'm taking no drugs, nor doing any airway clearance activities. I'm free!

Wishing you the best Ling,
-Shon
