I saw Dr Michelle Haas ay NJH for BE and MAB in May 2925. She is an ID doctor who specialized in NTM infection. She is also an Assoc. Professor. which I really liked since she is well informed in regard to treatment and ongoing research. After reviewing my CT, she told me that she considered lung resection but decided against it. I see her again tomorrow for my 3 month follow up this week and will ask her again. I also have an ID doctor in Scottsdale and Pulmonologist in Phoenix, and they both told me NJH was the best and thought it was a good idea. Keep in mind, we are geographically close to Denver, so maybe the best in our area. I'm glad I went. Do you know what your MAC count is? I assume you are nebulizing with 7% 2x/day.

thanks, Kathy. I'm glad to hear you like NJH.
My last MAC count was down to less than 10 colonies but then I went off the meds.
On nebulizing - that's another thing - I was nebulizing 7% for years but told my pulmonologist I stopped because of coughing up blood/hemoptysis. That was 3 years ago. He never suggested I try 3% saline, and when I got MAC last year he never suggested I try resuming nebulizing. Dr. Adrizzo-Harris told me to start nebulizing with 3% right away.
