@alleycatkate Hi Kate. I was getting them every six months in the beginning. Because I am not a spitting kind of gal -( dry as a bone) I have to have a yearly CT scan. Since being on the Arikayce, however, I have lots of the P and M words! Irene

Hey Irene @irene5 -- I'm a fellow "drybie" too. Have been since a month after first treatment for NTM. (Had lots of phlegm -- yuck, LOL -- before treatment started). Even 10 days of sputum induction couldn't do it now. I have scans every 6 to 12 months and bronchoscopies every 6 to 12 months instead.
It sounds like things have been different since the Arikayce started! I will start it in 2 weeks I think.
All the best, Annie
