Hi Chick. What a very odd diagnosis. Did your GP tell you this or was it the consultant? If this was your GPs interpretation of the scan insist on a referral to a good consultant and ask to be told exactly what the ct has shown and what condition this indicates. Then you can know how to deal with it. I have had bronchiectasis for 63 years and have had xrays and ct scans interpreted as pneumonia by people who don't know what they are looking at. Pneumonia is something which is temporary and treatable. It needs treating, whether you are a person with normally healthy lungs or someone with an underlying lung condition. I have never heard of 'permanent pneumonia' I hope that helps.
