The specialist performed a lung function test, and I had bloods and scans taken. The lung function test was poor; no wonder I was so short of breath. The scans showed pus-like cysts in both lungs – the right was completely congested and the left was doing all the work. The lungs also showed considerable scarring. My specialist was brilliant and explained that bronchiectasis was quite common, treatable and could be managed with antibiotics and quality self-care.
