Hi @kee, and welcome. Great news on the all clear on breast cancer spread. Sorry to hear that you are now dealing with a new diagnosis of treatment-related bronchiectasis and lung fibrosis. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion. I did this so you can meet other breast cancer survivors who have experience with MAC and/or bronchiectasis like @pinkwarrior @jweisser @trixie1313 @src3acs @lnduh66 and @nick52.

Kee, you'll soon see that members in the MAC & Bronchiectasis forum highly recommend seeing a pulmonology specialist, preferrably one that has experience with MAC and bronchiectasis like the experts at NJH and Mayo Clinic.

Has a treatment plan been discussed with you yet?

Thank you so much! No treatment plan has been discussed with my oncologist and when I called his nurse with my concern, she confirmed he was aware and that there was no cause for alarm. Made me feel like I was over reacting. But in this age of Covid with associated respiratory problems I strongly feel I need to consult with a specialist too, even tho I am fully vaccinated & boosted. I have an appointment with my Primary Care doc tomorrow about another issue and intend to bring this up with her. She is also a breast ca survivor.
