@windwalker -- Hi Terri, at which point and why would one get a bronchoscopy to get the sputum out? Is it to get a sample or is it used to get what is stagnating and obstructing breathing? I have been asked to provide a sputum "sample", but I was never able to do it and my pulmonologist has not suggested doing a bronchoscopy. Thanks -- Dee

Yeah, we've discussed that as an option when I hit the 12 month mark.
