The NJH Patient Conference recording from April 29, 2023

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I am currently trying to obtain an appt at NJH but, the nurse I am working with does not think my driving there is a good idea due to the altitude. I am open for suggestions in where I can go. Kaiser my insurance provided a referral. I live in Chino, California on oxygen 4 litters or higher. I am being considered for a lung transplant have MAC, Hypersensitivity Pneumomitis, Bronchiectisis, IPL. Lung Transplant doctor more concerned with my Hypersensitivity Pneumomitis. Any suggestions

Thank you very much for posting the conference link. I watched all the presentations over the past few days and found a wealth of great information. Does anyone know how to access the slides shown in presentations? There are some I would like to review.
I appreciate this forum and have learned a lot!

Hi there!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the talks. Please feel free to share them. So much effort went into the conference. We want everyone to watch it!

I can send the slide deck to Colleen our moderator. Hopefully she can figure out how to attach it.

Best,
Linda Esposito

Actually, I don’t think there’s an issue. It’s not a PDF file or slide deck but a URL. Please see below.

Having picked up NTM in Hawaii and moving to Seattle area for treatment, I find the research fascinating. There were 3 volcanic eruptions in my time over there. Seems the island chain is a preferred habitat. No wonder! Thank you for posting these links.

Yes. And Dr. Honda, the speaker, is from Hawaii. She does a lot of research there.
