jusg to clarify, you said you were on big 3 for 13 months testing negative. I’m guessing you mean the 13 months was after you initial course of the big 3? How long was that?
I’m so sorry about the Aspergillus and Abscessus.

The 13 months was on the Big 3 (and Amikacin) while testing negative. The doctors say once you test Negative the clock starts then and if you go a full 12 months Negative then you can get off the Big 3 and Amakacin. During the 13 months of Negative I developed another cavity and they thought it could be Aspergillus but sputum samples did not show that so I had a Bronchoscopy which identified both Aspergillus and Abscessus. The Big 3 and Amikacin do not help with the later 2 infections.
