I understand what you're saying. I'm nearly 80 and recently started the treatment. I'm not sure it's the right decision but giving it a try. They also wanted to start me on inhaled Amikacin (Arikayce) but I've decided against this. They will test me on a monthly basis for vision and hearing changes.

I hope the treatment works well for you. Saw my pulmonologist yesterday and brought him a CD of a chest CT I had done back in 2016. When he compared that one to one from November of 23 he said there was change but not enough to warrant putting me on the Big 3 now. We will do a repeat CT in November and then take it from there.
