Experiences with

Bronchoscopy

Following on earlier post about bronchoscopy triggering AF. Firstly, report from bronchoscopy confirmed nothing abnormal. Good news, but highly questionable if it was necessary anyway, but we tend to go along with doctors ideas.

Hi everyone, going out of my mind with worry. If anyone's had this procedure, how long did results take? Thanks

She had a bronchoscopy today and while waiting for results, I was wondering if anybody else was in the same situation and what did the bronchoscopy show?

Last night I was told I would be having a bronchoscopy this morning, so not a lot of sleep! I forgot to ask how long these results take to get to the consultant.

Nodules in my lungs were growing and in Sept of 23, I had a bronchoscopy and granulomas showed up. So gpa was dx. Now on rituxin, still on 7mg prednisone every day. I can't remember feeling normal. I'm sure I will get lots of good tips from health unlocked.

Then a day ago I submitted to having a bronchoscopy at the local hospital, investigating source of occasional blood in sputum (convinced it's anticoagulant related). Procedure all went smoothly. Middle of the night, yes you can imagine, the familiar irregular heartbeat etc.

Just an update after my recent CT scan, and the dreaded bronchoscopy on Tuesday this week. Obviously haven't had full results of latest CT scan, apart from a short note from my consultant to say there was a 6.5 millimetre nodule in ththe Apex of my right lung.

I had a bronchoscopy, but they were unable to get a tissue sample. I then I had a positive pet scan. I've seen my surgeon and am scheduled for late August ti to have a lower left lung lobectomy. I don't know the cancer type or stage at this point.

A bronchoscopy and biopsy showed haemophilus influenza beta bacteria resulting in pneumonia. I am currently taking doxycycline and amoxicillin and weaning off prednisone. I am starting to improve! My rheumatologist has said I do not have GCA and will now be followed by the pulmonologist.

At my bronchoscopy they found a " moderate growth of a bug called Acinetobacter Junii". Rather puzzled, as they said this is 'usually caused by contamination'. My question being, what if it WASN'T caused by contamination, but is in my lungs??! Has anybody else any experience with this bug?

I would add that I am awaiting results of latest ct scan done on ninth of May, and the full bronchoscopy report done on twenty-twenty-first of May. Still no follow up appointment from my consultant!

As a Bronchoscopy can have no treatment value i would always decline for fear of initiating the cough. Having been a Nurse for many years i have nursed the occasional patient with IPF although it was called Fibrosing Alveolitis in my time of Nursing.

Tomorrow I am having a bronchoscopy and it's obviously necessary since I have lung involvement with my breast cancer. I am having a little anxiety about this procedure. I have a DVT under my left armpit where one of the cancer mass is with numerous blood clots. The surgeon said I will be asleep.

Anyway after 2 CT Scans, bloods, breathing tests and a Bronchoscopy and a very anxious wait I finaliy have a diagnosis.

thank you. Appreciate really need to discuss with consultant but still waiting for my follow-up appointment.

17 months of sticky mucus and blocked airways have resulted in many courses of different antibiotics, a bronchoscopy, lung wash, scans, x-rays. I've had diagnoses of asthma, bronchiectasis, nasal polyps, though scans show no bronchiectasis.

My brother went for bronchoscopy for lung infection just now. He is in ICU.Me and my father were waiting outside. After the procedure we were asked to go and see one by one. I went first. My little brother was deeply sedated. I felt sad to see him like this. I asked doctor about the reports .

Been seeing consultant for over 20 years and now everything seems to have stopped working ( antibiotics/steroids) I’m waiting on a bronchoscopy that was supposed to have happened this week but I’m in so much pain and have been ill since before Christmas.

They are going to do a bronchoscopy to find out just what's going on (I have a number of lung nodules too which may be linked). Anyone out there with experience of a chronic NTB?
