They are talking about an antibiotic I can't take for 1 1/2 years and the alternatives are worse. They don't really think I have this but are just want to rule it out. They may even be able to determine that I don't have it by the wash they will do as part of the bronchoscopy. My inclination is still NO BIOPSY unless they see something that is suspicious for cancer.
More opinions needed. Eileen
