Bronchiectasis Resolved?

@clynnford Woo-hoo, great news! I wonder, did you have pneumonia, bronchitis or Covid at the time of or before your diagnosis? All of these can leave "artifacts" in the lungs that appear to be bronchiectasis, but which can heal.
My lungs look "better" 5 years after diagnosis (and 2 years of treatment) but not "cured." I didn't think that could happen either, but my pulmonologist explained that as the nodules and pockets went away, they could see the actual lung tissue better. She also said routine lung clearance, which really exercises the lungs, might have helped.
So I continue to huff, cough and use some saline because I want to maintain...
