@laura34.....thank you so much for your service especially to dangerous war zones. Are you aware of National Jewish Health in Denver. They specialize in Mycobacterium Infections....but also have a section there called Deployment Related Lung Disease Program. According to info on Nationaljewish.org website....a description of that section says it is part of Veterans Choice Program. I went to NJH 2 years ago.....for second opinion....turns out the local treatment was totally incorrect. I just returned from 3rd annual follow up appt there....even more impressed. Take a look at their web site and put in the above section. Again....thank you for your service.. what branch? Tdrell

Tdrell,
Thank you for the information. I will definitely look into that. Unfortunately I am stationed in Fort Drum which is in Upstate NY so not sure how I may get the chance to go there being active duty stationed in NY. Definitely worth looking into esp for the depolyment related specialty. I am helicopter pilot in the US Army. Going on 15 years now. Glad to hear you have peace of mind at the NJH. That is a relief in itself!
