I have a CT scan scheduled at the end of this month. My current pulmonologist never gets a sputum sample since my bronch with sputum and Dx, which was a couple of years ago. I am not pleased with her to say the least. I'll see what the CT shows and what she says. I've been on watch and wait for the past couple of years but it seems to be that my symptoms are slowly increasing plus these 2 exacerbations. If you have any further suggestions I'm all ears!

Find a doctor who does regular sputum cultures? That would be the best way to measure the level of infection.
I am having the same discussion with my doc, because I am stable for 4 years. I jus really want to know my current status to determine if my current regimen is enough.
