Hi Katherine, I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Bronchiectasis. I am seeing a doctor this month at Mayo Clinic Rochester this month for a consult (second opinion). Do you know how many days I can expect to be at Mayo Clinic for a second opinion? They told me 4-5 days but I can imagine what they could do to me for that many days. Copies of my records and scans have already been sent to Mayo.

Hi @valerie613, great to hear that you have an appointment at Mayo Clnic Rochester. I’m tagging fellow members who I believe are or have been bronchiectasis patients at Mayo Clinic, like
@windwalker @jenblalock @auntnanny @migizii @joan912 @linda272 @bluesplashgirl who can tell you more of what you might expect.

Will this be your first time to Rochester, MN?

I was at Mayo recently for a second opinion, as well. The intake person/doctor spent about an hour with me and then sent me on my way, with several pieces of literature. She agreed with the first diagnosis of "mild bronchiectasis.'
