A recording of the conference sessions is now available to view at: https://www.europeanlunginfo.org/bronchiectasis/patient-conference-2021

I enjoyed the conference and learned quite a bit from the sessions. VERY thankful for medical progress, because one of the speakers noted that in the 1940s the only real treatment for Bronchiectasis was surgical removal of part of the lungs!

I had surgical removal of my lung in 1986 and have bronchiectasis in the other after having pneumonia multiple times in three years. I am curious how many others in this group have? I am surprised it seems like a shock that happened in the ‘50s as it was still happening in the 80s. The good news is i am still here!
