I guess I was lucky -- I got in quickly -- 4 days. It was consultation to begin with but after the consult they sent me for a lung x-ray and there were a number of doctors involved (at least 3 -- maybe more) and they told me immediately what the problem was and then they set me up with a pulmonologist there. It was a few weeks before that appt if I remember correctly but -- not long. They told me "You do not have cancer -- you have bronchiectasis". that was good news to me because of course I was fearful in that I had been sick a few years and had lost tremendous weight and had seen many specialists in about 100 miles of here. Had gotten nowhere. I've been back only 3 or 4 times but it's a long drive from here. I can keep in touch with my doctor there through the portal they use and he answers quickly. If I call, his staff is very good too. I plan to go back as soon as Covid settles down a little. I'll be anxious to know how you feel after you've been there. Be sure to post about your experience.

I would like to go to Mayo but with all he congestion at this time, I can't stay away from nebulizer and smart vest for more than about 4 hours during the day. I live in NC.
Which Mayo do you go to?

Thank you. I will certainly post after my to Mayo. K
