Yes that is what the doctor said, actually he wanted to apply surgery on me after I took antibiotics for 2months.

I am also thinking about stem cell therapy. I find an article from Case university. They find stem cell therapy can help in some ways.

Really appreciate your feedback! I am more and more into antibiotics.

I had a failed resection 5 years ago. One Dr here now wants a RUL lobectomy. I'll put if off as long as possible. It's either the surgery or antibiotics for life for me. My quality of life has been so good the past 18 months, I hate to mess it up. Surgeon says I must do Amikacin IV for 6 weeks prior and 2 weeks after. I had Amikacin before, I did no do well at all. I'd be risking permanent dizziness if I did. Tough choices we have.
