Since a bronchoscopy on Tuesday, I have been told that the cultures are clear, but the fungi check which takes many weeks is for the MAC/MCI. However, bronchiectasis with chronic infection (MCI) was noted by 3 different physicians on an abdominal CT scan, an abdominal MRI and a HRCT lung scan, so I figure it is going to be there on the path report. Never knew I had a problem until a couple weeks ago when it was noted on a routine abdominal scan following my breast cancer. So, added another doctor (pulmonologist) to my list and looks like an ID doc in my future. My breast cancer was an ATM gene mutation, so who knows if the bronch was a gene-thing also?
