My 1st bronch in Dec 24 showed mac and Aspergella, the Dr only treated the mac. Feb I was in the hospital with a huge mucus plug and infection. Pulmonologist says that fungal ball was aspergillosis. ID put me on vfend 2x day since the end of Feb. I see him today because my serum level is still low (0.70 even though I'm doing 400mg 2x day. My scan is 90% clearer than it was before (2/27 and then 3/17). I'm on ethambutol & azithromycin for the mac, and nucala for abpa.

@hbcupcake How did you get approval for nucala? We're having to go through a bunch of hoops to get prior authorization for it.
