Thank you Sue
My CT’s have gotten a bit worse over the years. I have Bronchiectasis and MAC. I recently caught something from my granddaughter during the holidays and wound up having to take Levaquin for 10 days. I’m back walking and hiking 3-4 miles/day. Is there a concern in waiting to start treatment? Thank you

It's a question that's been bouncing around in my head too. If you don't have symptoms and little change on your CT scans, does this mean the MAC is still marching along in your lungs doing irreversible damage that will suddenly cause you a crisis, and then you say "oh, I should have taken the treatment sooner"?
