Thank you, Sue. I was pretty shocked yesterday after all the high fat food. 😀 I had gotten my weight stabilized for a couple months with dietary changes. I don’t bring up sputum despite airway clearance.
I saw Mayo for a diagnosis since pulmonary doc I’d seen initially was on emergency leave. I have a new doc in Penn’s bronchiectasis clinic and will point it out to him at next visit. If he blows me off ( unlikely I think), I’ll contact Mayo again.

Cathy, Sometimes it is a good idea to call before the visit and initiate sputum collection and perhaps a CT in advance of your visit, so he knows what you are dealing with when you arrive. Remember sputum culture results take 6-8 weeks to get back.
