    Hi Jayne,

    So pleased about your appointment; It should be a bronchiectasis specialist, so you can ask to see your CT scan of your lungs to the see the extent of the damage.

    Next question... will you be having a broncoscopy?

    also, spirometry tests to measure your lung function;

    Can they fix you up with physiotherapy to help with breathing and a 'flutter' device? this helps to bring up the mucus daily to discourage further infections.

    Do hope this helps...

    Blessings,

    Lesley
