I was recently diagnosed with Bronchiectasis.
I was recently diagnosed with Bronchiectasis. No symptoms yet just starting different tests- another CAT scan, pulminary function test, and possible bronchoscopy. Any advice/suggestions would be greaty appreciated. Thank you!

Research, research, research all possible side effects from the antibiotics your doc wants you on, then go over them with him/her. I honestly believe they are not aware!!! I now have neuropathy because of an unaware doctor!! I'll tell my story later.
Hello, and welcome to Mayo Connect. Can you tell us a little about your treatment so far? Are you seeing a doctor who is well-versed in treating MAC?

Are you near Philadelphia? Penn Medicine’s Pulmonary Department has a Bronchiectasis and MAC program. I was able to get an appointment last summer and have seen my doc twice. He seems very thorough and kind.
