Throat Radiation After-Effects, Aspiration & Suffocating Mucous
Head & Neck Cancer | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (70)Comment receiving replies
Recently, and after much researching, I discovered an increasing condition called, "nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease," or NTM. Please research this, as this is the next step for me. Although after having a bronchoscopy there were many bacteria the lab tested for, this bacteria was not one of them. If this is what is causing my problem, it would explain much. According to the site for NTM, this condition is increasing by 8% per YEAR!

Connie - You said "after having a bronchoscopy there were many bacteria the lab tested for, this bacteria was not one of them." - Can you tell us what was tested?
