A little bit paranoid

I have had bouts of hemoptysis for a long time now too. When it first started happening, I really freaked out, thought to myself "I'm not going to last too much longer." I had spoken to my doctor, he actually told me that it may always happen, as there is permanent lung damage and not to worry about it TOO much. He said that I should only be very concerned if I am bringing up upwards of a half of cup in one bout. Now I use the amount of hemoptysis more to compare my health and assess if I am in need of a "tune up." I haven't really had much problem with the Pulmozyme itself, but I have actually noticed a substantial increase in the frequency since I started Hypertonic Saline. Anyone else notice this at all?
