@blm1007blm1007 The presentation and ultimately the treatment of BE and even MAC can be unique for each person. There are so many factors to weigh, including one’s age, risk aversion, state of infection
(changing CT scan results) and overall health etc.

Having physicians and providers who follow the science and are prepared to share the options with each patient is key. People then have the choice for next step treatment, after weighing the risks about disease progression. We have to rely on real science.

Jimmy-
Yes I do agree with all you said, including that very important word in a world full of AI, 'real' science.
Science has helped us through many many things and will continue to. Believe me I often think of and silently thank so many people who have come before us that have done great things for humanity with science etc. be it with health matters or invention wise.
I plan to ask to have another C Scan in April and review all again. I believe I will do fine on the antibiotics its just that I truly don't know and of course if I don't do it for sure I won't' know. One of the risk aversion factors for me has to do with....possible other illness happening and then what per antibiotics if you come down with pneumonia, RSV etc.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Barbara
