Hello,
Yes, considering other NJH patients’ distances, I am closer than many. You are getting similar advice if you are nearer to the Tyler, TX facility.

I have made several trips to Denver from my location (by cab) so I wasn’t there for a week all at once but have made at least 8 trips there for testing when required. They like to use their own labs, etc. for the best results.

I have followed webinars/presentations online to learn about the ACTs, some sponsored by NJH, and also through online lung communities as I await my appointment next week. I believe my ID doctor will consider how to approach this issue when I see him. Much depends on my next CT scan and other tests on the day of my appointment.

Given my age, sometimes the antibiotics are best not given. ACTs can be very effective in certain cases and I’m hoping for that as my only treatment at this point in my life.

Wishing you the best!
