Miriam, I live in Wilmington, NC and my doctor referred me to UNC-CH. I am going for my 2nd visit on 12/8. The 1st one was in June. At this poi t the pulmo that I am seeing in CH is but gathering info. However she did start me on airway clearance as the inhalers caused chest tightness.
I would like to know about your treatment at Duke. Do they have a Pulmonary Specialty Clinic? A previous Dr had mentioned Duke to me. I want to go to the best. Would like to discuss with you after your appointment. Duke is about 3o mins closer to me..

Hi the infectious disease doctor i just saw this week gave me the name of the doctor at duke who specializes in Mac. She suggested going there for a second opinion. Currently i am researching and learning which she recommended. I have an appt with her in January to discuss my situation.
I hope i get an appt at Duke before going back to the infectious doctor. I am like you i want to go to the best or at least a hospital that sees many cases and has more data. I just spoke to the office yesterday and i need a referral to get an appt. I have to wait until Monday to call the inf disease dr to get my referral.
His name dr jason stout at duke
Would like to hear what the doctor tells you on the 8th about treatments. I know we are all different situations. Right now i have no idea what to do. Hope this helps. Miriam
