Big 3 all at same time?

Congratulations 🙌
I do hope you can stay clear! All doctors think differently! I understood there are guidelines worldwide. 3 x pw no cavities, 7 days pw if cavities exist! Not so apparently. One doc said aggressive treatment 7 x pw required. Then I get a different doc she said guidelines 3 x pw. So I agreed to start meds 3 x.
I saw another doc as in the public system I could never see the same doctor, he said he would have had me on everyday meds. No wonder we are so confused!!!!!!
However at 4 months I had my very first negative sputum so for that reason I am left on 3 x pw. As it is working and thank goodness for that I could not cope with taking meds everyday. Doc also said those guidelines are in USA only! Conflicting advice 🥴

I'm in the USA and the guidelines I've read and been told by my doc are 3x/week. I think that before 2020 the recommendation was 5x/week. Now, from what I can tell, it's 5 times if you're immunocompromised or have more severe MAC (cavity vs. nodular). It is indeed confusing!

Pw?
