I had BCG injection as primary school child and still managed to test negative at secondary school age so had to have the injection over again... Immunity can also wane as people age. 

As for the bronchoscopy, it's a test used to diagnose a lot of different lung conditions – British Lung Foundation has more information about the test so that you can see it is not a cancer test specifically.

As Carol says, best not jump to any conclusions. Hoping all works out well for you and do let us know how you get on please.

I went through the bronchoscopy three days ago and my worries are getting worse. During the procedure I was wide awake and watching the screen. When the camera reached something white at the top of the lung. Then they did brushing and washing. It was quick and I didn't feel any pain except for coughing because of the flushing fluid. After a quick recovery, I asked what we saw on the camera. What was it, what did that look like? I didn't get an answer. They just said - We won't know until the samples are tested. It crushed me and I just got more depressed. This is so long waiting for results. I'm just walking into a horror movie. And even more depression when I had a call from my work to let me know that the company will have to cut staff. So today they will be on the phone about conversation with me.Real hell. Where did I end up and what did I do to deserve all this? How should I protect myself today since there is no diagnosis? I'm just in shock.

Hi zlat, I am sorry you are going through this, test results can vary a lot in how long you wait, sometimes it can be to do with the testing proceedure. There is a section on money work any travel which might be able to help if the news is not good about your work. Very difficult to keep busy when going through the waiting. I think i was one of the lucky few and only had to wait 10 days for my results which were on Wednesday, the surgeon called me at home. Somesitmes these things can be a simple lung nodule but all things that are not supposed to be there will be tested.

all the best
