Hi Acelaplac,
It is really nice to hear your success story. It sounds like you made the right decision. Great for you! My case is similar to you, two small cavities (1-2cm), but one has a thick wall. Usually cavity without thick wall shrinks faster. Your cavity probably does not have a thick wall, I guess?
IV amikacin is scary and you are really lucky and courageous! But I heard they work really well on MaC infection.
I also heard some patients' cavities go away but come back later. I really want to understand why. 😕
Thanks and hope to receive your feedback 🙏
