Thank you. Worcester is farther than Boston but I have not heard anyone comment about mass General in Boston yet. I was diagnosed with MAC 6 years ago and pulmonologist suggested not treating, wait & see. Did very well for several years and then I’ve had about 7 various antibiotics in the last year for colds culminating in pneumonia in April. I had a broncoscopy post pneumonia in June and MAC results still not back. Almost 8 weeks! I see my pulmonologist on Wednesday, wondering what he will say. I just found this group this week and am learning SO much!!!
Thanks for replying and I wish you well on your recovery.

Yes, you will find a wealth of information to be gleaned from this group. And undoubtedly you will “connect” with members who will become fast friends. I was cured of MAC at UMASS and am forever grateful for the kind, caring, professionals there. It is a teaching hospital so everyone is on his/her game! Best of luck, irene5
