How do I post in this forum? I just joined today, and was just diagnosed with MAC, after being treated for pseudomonas, and having my 12 year diagnosis of non- smoker's COPD emphysema to bronchiectasis. I am a little confused by this all, and as a side note, I have been perfectly fine through this transition in diagnoses. Thanks.

We look forward to getting to know about you? Do you see a pulmonologist or an infectious disease specialist?

I see a pulmonologist in AZ in winter and a different pulmonologist in summer in Michigan. I would like very much to know if there is a specialist in bronchiectasis at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. I was diagnosed in 2002 and in the last 2 or 3 years have developed much more shortness of breath and loss of energy and would like to know if I am doing as much as I should be doing.

I’d like to know, too.

Dcoburn and Pkayh, to find out about pulmonologists specializing in bronchiectasis and MAC at Mayo Clinic AZ, please call 480-301-8484. Experts from all 3 campuses work together.

@colleen. Did you get my private message?

Thanks so much.  I will call this Mayo number and see what I can find out.  I would also like to hear from some who can recommend a specific doctor.

Yes I did, @nick52. So now you know how to send a private message. Of course, posting messages to the group discussions benefit many. However, private messages can be useful to share personal contact information, etc.
