Cut it out!

Posted by shonney @shonney, Mar 11 1:31pm

Well, you know what I'm talking about. After almost 6 months out of the last 12 with exacerbations, I'm looking widely for solutions. I'm getting a consultation with a Thoracic surgeon to investigate removing the BE surgically. It's localized to my Right Upper Lobe(RUL) and therefore might be "easy" to remove that lobe, which accounts for about 18-20% of lung capacity. Has anyone else explored this or done it? What were your findings?

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