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!

So sorry you've had to go through that ...but glad you're still here to share your thoughts with us! My pulmonologist talked to me about surgery, saying that removal of part of my lung would probably be necessary if we're not able to stop the progression of the disease.
