Same here. . . .completely asymptomatic. Did all the imaging, bronchoscopy, biopsy, cultures and smears. The doctors were looking for something different. But i am positive for MAC. Its hard for me to believe since i have no symptoms, no lung cavities just many lung nodules. My only issue is fatigue, which they say MAC can cause.
I am newly diagnosed and the ID just sent the big three prescriptions to the pharmacy. After reading this forums post now i am afraid to take the antibiotics. Have appts with the PCP and pulmonologist, to discuss my option of doing active surveillance instead. I dont want to take medicines just to become sick from side effects. I dont know what to do since i am at this crossroad. But none of the doctors can tell me the consequences of doing nothing. Cathy
