10 year old with bronchiectasis and nodule
by bulldogmomof5, May 22, 2009 04:15PM
My son is 10. He has had asthma since he was 3 months old. It has never gotten better. He has been on almost everything. He gets allergy shots once a week to try to help his asthma. The only time he can breath normally is when he is on pred. He once asked what it was like to be able to breath right. It broke my heart. Now my son is very active. He loves his sports. He plays footbal, baseball, and wrestles. He uses his machine and inhaler all the time, and some how just keeps going. Monday he had his first CT. The Pulmonologist called and says he has bronchiectasis, and he has a 5mm nodule on lung. He is going to do a bronchiscope, when I do not know. They will do another CT in 6 months to check for growth. Im scared for him. Has any ine been through this?

I got excited, scared and anxious reading this post. I have been searching the web nightly for someone else who has a young child with Bronchiectasis. My son was diagnosed in May with this disease. Perhaps we can share info. My blog is Fourinthefam.blogspot.com
