I remember the bronchoscopy. But if you've never had a GI endoscopy before, other tests are negative, various attempts to treat have failed, and this continues to be a problem, then I can see why your GI may want to do the scope after all. Seems pretty reasonable.
If I remember right wasn't this a significant problem before the addition of the antibiotics for the MAC? Just thinking out loud...in case this is related to the antibiotics.

So I reminded him about the deferment I thought the Dr might just have forgotten what she said. The nurse said he 'll talk with the Dr. That was 1week ago.
