Coco, I can imagine that you're very frightened. Did you know that you had bronchiectasis before this recent news that it is end-stage? Or is the first you've heard that you have bronchiectasis?

Thanks for merging the discussions. I have been going between my desktop and a tablet and it had me confused. This is the first I have learned of the bronchiectasis. I think that is what has me so confused. I'm not sure what happened to all the stages in between. I have always had a cough. Especially, when I lay down at night. I had been told that I had some scarring from the pneumonia when I was young. I had a chest x-ray in July and that the radiologist said looked normal. I was lucky that the pulmonologist looked at that x-ray and compared it to one I had done 5 years ago and saw a difference and ordered the CT scan.
