I ve heard of some stem cell therapy & new research that can help people with cystic fibrosis/or bronciectasis , any truth/ progression in that avenue?

Yes potentially: This is an exciting new development. Having the cell lines developed at mgh will help screen numerous potential CF drugs for effectiveness against the CF mutation commonly associated with CF called delta508. In the meantime, i would ask your doctor about inhaled antibiotics and azithromycin. I hope that this helps, prmg peds resp fax usa: 858 259 9689 for review of records.
