Did I imagine this

In addition to bronchiectasis I have CLL ( a type of leukaemia ). When meeting my consultant recently I stated my mucus was rarely coloured and nearly always clear or opaque. I believe he replied that this was because of the CLL which masked the condition. Does this make sense to any one ?

My Son Has AML and on Chemo and he can only gauge he is ill by his temperature. It appears that the cells that would normally fight the problem/infection do not or cannot so the body would normally let you know with a cough or pain. This has in affect been turned off.

Normal rules apply with dark gunk needs looking at.
