I had a bronchoscopy in August of 23 and that's when the previous Pulmonologist wanted to put me on the Big 3 all at once without spacing them out over two weeks. That's when I decided to see an Infectious Disease Dr. who didn't think I should start the meds. She also advised me that I would still need a pulmonologist for the COPD etc. so I found a new Dr. The first one never mentioned ( back in 2016) that the radiologist who read the CT scan suggested possible MAC. Over the past 7 years he has not sent me for chest xray or CT. All he ever did were those spirometer tests every time I went. I am waiting for ID Dr. to call me back for an appt. with her. Thank you Sue.
