Yes= Bronchiectasis

Hi donkeys8
I wrote a short note on the team page (I think) but to answer your question. None of the above are in my lungs. I had never heard of this so looked it up and will print out and read up on it. I am very interested and will be looking forward to your doctor's comments tomorrow. Thoughts and prayers with you. Do take care. Hugs.

What is it?

can someone explain bronchiectasis to me? What is this condition? What are outcomes? how common is it?

@A MyCOPDTeam Member yes the lung reduction, did help a lot, I can do more then I could before, I was at 21% fev1 and when to 36% fev1, , but others on here have gained much more, its only been about a yr, but still having seavere pain on 1 side, but not the other, the first one, they did a epurdule, and a nevere block, and everything on that side is fine, the other side they only did a epidural, and that's the side with issues, but yes I would do it again, the success rate is very high, and now these are extending your life upwards of 10 years without issues
