Bronchiectasis

[Cateran]

Hello , I'm new here and have bronchiectasis. I am a member of Tayside Bronchiectasis Support (TaBS) and care about linking with other fellow sufferers in Scotland. Tayside includes Perth and Kinross geographically, as well as the city of Dundee, and we have two major hospitals, Perth Royal Infirmary and Ninewells in Dundee. Networking is important to me as we need all the support we can get for spreading the word about bronchiectasis and for building friendship links. The respiratory departments at both NHS sites above are brilliant for helping patients with the burden of treating lung conditions such as bronchiectasis. I hope to contribute to posts here from time to time and look forward to an exchange of views.

Terry.

Hi, I have COPD and am a member of Arbroath COPD group. I know at least one of our members has Bronchiectasis. We are a varied group, many lung problems between us. You would be very welcome to attend our meetings if this would help.

Hi Cateran. Great to hear back from you. I'm awake at stupid o'clock as I have to be up VERY early (for me). I'm panicking as my d-i-law is picking me uo to take me for a blood transfusion. Another story!!! I'm convinced I'll sleep in. 😴 Anyway, I'll get back to you ASAP by P Message with all the contact info for the group.

Take care.

Kathy. ☺
