MAC lung cavitary disease: Looking for success stories

Posted by alyssa999 @alyssa999, Aug 28 4:29am

Hello everyone just wanting to hear some similar stories to mine some positive ones as all I'm seeing is negative mortality rates etc at 25 is quite scary.
In may was hospitalized as I had phnemonia and couldn't breathe, following a CT scan they had found quite a large
lung cavity 9.2 by 9.2 cm. Suspected tuberculosis. Turned out to be MAC Lung disease the cavitary form. I have 2 kids I want to be around for so I'm quite anxious about everything. Started antibiotics but breathless from damaged lung tissue has worsened I think it's that or my anxiety from overthinking. Has anyone had any success story's of overcoming this disease and living a normal long life....
