I just returned from a 6 month follow up at Mayo in Jacksonville. Good news for me, my CT and PFT remain stable. I had no symptoms to report other than my usual coughing up sputum after bronchial hygiene once daily. My previous sputum culture was negative, current sputum culture is still pending, but Dr said even if positive he would not change the treatment plan which is twice daily nebbing 7% saline, and once daily Aerobica, postural drainage, manual chest percussion, huffing and coughing up sputum. And return in 1 year for next follow up. Very happy. Thanks to everyone in this group that has suggested using 7% saline. Mayo did not initially offer it as a treatment but approved the continued use for me. Bill

Great to hear Bill. Your dedication has paid off! I go back to Mayo Jax in January for a CT & follow-up with Dr. Johnson. I also learned about the 7% saline from this forum & believe it helped with my hemoptysis. Take care. Linda

May I ask which doctor you saw?
