Sue, My pulmonologist wanted to do a scope to cover all areas to be thorough. The lab showed bacteria.....I have lived in Indiana for 66 years and there I was diagnosed but just moved for half a year to Omaha Nebraska to be closer to family so I split my time between Indiana and Omaha. I am planning on getting a second opinion in Omaha. I had back surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester 16 years ago and I love this clinic so I am thinking if I can get in to get an opinion there which I know would be the best........

I guess to paint a bigger picture two years ago just before Covid hit I had some breathing issues. A little short of breath and tightness in the chest. After seeing a heart doctor all was good in that area and then they sent me to a pulmonologist. He did a CT Scan which showed nodules and from there we went to having a scope and a CT Scan every 6 months. The last CT Scan showed progression and that is when the pulmonologist wants me to take the 3 antibiotics. I feel the need for another opinion because he wants me on these meds and yet I won't see him for another 6 months without any checkups. I know my body and antibiotics are very hard for me and I am hopeful for another way yet I have absolutely no symptoms and if they wouldn't have told me that I have this I would never have known......
