Newly diagnosed with Bronchiectasis or NTM? You’re not alone. 💙
A new diagnosis can bring a lot of emotions and questions, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Bronch & NTM 360social has dedicated spaces created especially for people who are just beginning this journey.
Within the community, you’ll find sections and discussions focused on:
Understanding your diagnosis – clear, patient-friendly information
Living your best with Bronchiectasis and NTM – everyday tips for routines, airway clearance, pacing, and self-care
Shared experiences – learning from others who truly understand
Encouragement and connection – support when you need it most
In addition to community support, we offer one-on-one help through our Bronchiectasis & NTM 360 Patient Ambassadors. Our Patient Ambassadors are real patients who understand what you’re going through and are available to listen, share resources, and help you find your footing. You can call toll-free (833) 411-5864, or you can email contactus@bronchandntm.org.
Whether you’re here to read quietly, ask your first question, or connect directly with someone who’s been in your shoes, you’re welcome here. Move at your own pace -- there’s no right or wrong way to begin.
✨ We’re really glad you found us, and we’re here to walk alongside you as you learn how to live your best with Bronchiectasis and NTM.
