Hi guys, I have just got my Chest Xray results and there is what they call train tracking in the right lower lobe.  It says that it could be Bronchiectasis, but I will need a CT to confirm this.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  From what I could find out it can be caused by immune system problems and also by MTX, which if it is ,there goes my new treatment plan.  I will ask my Dr next week but I sure as hell don't feel good and can't seem to break this fever or all these gurgling noises in my chest, from what I read it is pretty serious, my Dr didn't mention it yesterday but she seemed to be quite intent on finding out what type of infection I have by checking the sputum sample and then said she will see me next week.  God I can't take much more negative stuff, I am sick of being sick.  Hugs Janie.   Sorry, Janie, darl. Can't help with the Bronchiectasis but geez, you have had more of your fair share at the moment, sweetie. I am so sorry that there is 'more' happening for you.
