Hi,
I just wanted to add that I am also a patient at Mayo Jax where I asked for a second opinion in Jan. 2018 after diagnosis with MAC & bronchiectasis in Nov. 2017. Like SallyB I was originally a patient in the Baptist system but after my Dr there retired, I decided to become a patient at Mayo. I have been very happy with my care there, but will mention that airway clearance wasn’t suggested until I had experienced ongoing hemoptysis. As often indicated on this site, we are all different, & hemoptysis has been the major symptom of my condition. It now rarely occurs & I believe that airway clearance has kept me well.
I’d also like to mention that I’ve asked my Mayo pulmonologist for several referrals & have been pleased with each Mayo specialist that I have seen there.
I see my pulmonologist annually & usually have a CT, sputum test, bloodwork, & pulmonary function test beforehand. I also know that I can contact my Dr. as needed and get a timely response.
Just keep reading & learning, stay as active as possible, rest as needed, eat well, & have a great day!
Take care,
Linda
Thank you Linda!!
