Hi Annie99,
In addition to the community support you receive here on BronchandNTM360social, you can call one of our Patient Ambassadors directly toll-free at (833) 411-5864. Our Ambassadors are patients and caregivers with experiences similar to yours and understand what you are going through.
You can also email us at info@bronchiectasisandntm360.org to get more information.
Our Ambassadors can’t provide medical advice but may be able to assist you with additional information and resources.
Edit: I understand that nobody can give medical advice but what questions should I be asking my doctor so I can best decide?

Hello Annie,
The link below provides basic information on Pseudomonas infections: https://www.bronchiectasisandntminitiative.org/Learn-More/I-am-a-Patient-or-Caregiver/Pseudomonas-Aeruginosa-Lung-Infections
I was treated with Tobramycin inhalation, on 28 days, off then back on for se. Inhalation meds cause less side effects than other oral meds. Please discuss your concerns about taking antibiotics with your health care provider.
