I had my right middle lobe removed in January 2024 due to advanced bronchiectasis in that area. Now my pulmonary function is better than it's been since I first was diagnosed with NTM 2 years ago and I feel great. I've gained back all the weight I lost and no more fatigue. Unfortunately, the MAC is back after being off meds since June. My ID doc says the bacterial load is almost undetectable so I'm hoping I can overcome it with good airway clearance.

I will switch to arikayce this month. If cavity does not shrink or close, i probably will do surgery.
