Thank you so much Jan! Yes planning going to Rochester soon. Making appt today. I do have Bronchiectasis, however it doesn't involve too much breathlessness, oxygen or coughing at all.
It is called TRACTION bronchiectasis. I hv radiation Lung fibrosis from chest radiation 30 yrs ago! Few weeks ago coughed up tons of blood, rushed to hospital. My pulmonalgist said this could happen again! I felt like I was suffocating. Basically living in fear of it happening again. Husband w/ me 24/7 but getting watch with a 911 feature. I will post about my experience at Mayo. Hope you continue to do well. What is your diagnosis if I might ask? Take care Kathy
