Hi @colleenyoung thanks for your reply. I have MAC and was diagnosed 2 years ago. I am seeing lung specialists and I'm on treatment... had repeated hemoptysis due to a cavity so waiting for lobectomy surgery... Do you know any doctors who specilaze in NTM in Canada? Thank you.

Hi @amn17, the private message function is definitely useful to connect with others, but remember sharing on the forum brings others into the conversation as well. Group discussions can be very beneficial. And they will help the next newcomer to Connect who has been diagnosed with MAC in Canada. Just a thought.

Hi, My son was diagnosed with bronchiectasis when he was 9 years old; he is now 15 years. We currently live in Bangalore, India and he had a rough year with multiple infections & psedomonas. Our Pulmonologist here has advised us to move to any place with better air quality & less population.We have decided to move to Vancouver, BC in April. Anyone on this group from Vancouver?

@rampa Very sorry to hear about your son, so young. There are a few people on here from Canada, most recently I saw @amn17 from Vancouver. If you're using a computer you can also use the search bar on this site by typing in "Vancouver bronchiectasis" and press the hourglass to the right which will take you to other members with that criteria. If you're using a smartphone, type in your search subject and press "go" which is on the lower right corner of the keyboard on your phone. There's actually 2 search bars when I pull up the site and I have to use the second one, still press "go" on my phone. Hope I didn't confuse you. Best of luck to you and your family.

Amn, we look forward to getting to know more about you. Do you have MAC, MAI, bronchiectasis? Do you see a specialist? How are you doing?
