Need advice for my situation

Maybe a little off topic. As many times as I’ve had chest CT scans, I have never had one with contrast. More recently they’ve been low-dose radiation, high contrast with newer machines.

If you haven’t already, seek out a pulmonologist who has a working relationship with an infectious disease doctor on Mac. I can understand your anxiety about waiting to get more answers.

That’s the strange thing. My pulmonologist says he sees mac quite frequently and it seems endemic to the area I live in. I’m waiting on my appointment for infectious disease but I feel they will not be helpful until I produce 2 more positive sputum samples.

I only have CTs without contrast. They are very sensitive and better then a chest xray
