Hello, and welcome to the need to make a hard decision. It sounds like you are on track to a diagnosis of your infection and its susceptibility to medications, which is what ID docs do.
Are you also being seen by a pulmonologist experienced in treating this infection who is regularly monitoring you lung condition - like whether you have nodules or cavities typical of MAC/MAI, and whether they are changing over time?
Here is a tip about how much experience the pulmonologist has in treating people like us - they will recommend daily airway clearance to help get the mucus out of our lungs, and perhaps offer an inhaler or nebulizer to help with the process, or a visit with a respiratory therapist. "The vest" is only one such tool, there are other options like a vibratory device.

Here is a current discussion that might help you - you can connect with some people who have decided to take antibiotics, and others who have decided to wait and watch.

And here is an older, longer discussion by many people who were faced with the choice:

Remember, based on the stage and severity of your infection, "watch and wait", combined with daily airway clearance, can be a suitable treatment plan for you.
