@tdrell I have never been good at getting any sputum up. I think I had one positive sputum of the probably 9 or more I submitted over the last several years . I could not produce any with mucinex and sputum induction. What has been cultured was from bronchoscopy and I had a biopsy in 2015. Did you have any changes on your CT other than bronchiectasis? I guess I have nodules and maybe granuloma. I am having a biopsy next week to see what is going on with the one area. Can you tell me who you see for Pulmonology? Was it Dr Buggy or Brummitt that you saw at Aurora?

@jo ann k good luck with biopsy.....and so far no bronchiectasis shows on my CAT scans,.....other stuff which is why l have follow up CAT scans based on Fleischner Society guidelines used by radiologists which really is for checking for Cancer ....over a ten year period no changes in the stuff (nodes and nodules )present....there is inflammation which they feel is from the reflux...l guess because l have never smoked there has been no mention of biopsies and the fact that there has been no enlargements in recent years ....l went to a Dr Claudia Altmann an ID doctor at Grafton Auorora once but went for second opinion at NJH and did not go back to her....again good luck with biopsy
