@irene5 A little unrelated but I am curious if the aspergillosis was detected in a routine sputum sample? Or only from bronchoscopy? Is bronchoscopy what you mean by robotic lung surgery? Thank you!

All of my sputum samples came back Negative for Fungus and MAC for 16 months and then a CT showed a cavity that NJH suspected Aspergillus. I had a Bronchoscopy and I ended up testing Positive for both Aspergillus and MAC Abscessuss. I was so devastated because I was only off all Meds for 5 glorious months. Don't understand how ALL those months of Negative from NJH happened. My Pulmonologist started me on Voriconazole right away. I go back to NJH for my 6 month checkup in November.
