@jgb1997 Thank you for sharing this helpful info and welcome to the group.
I'm curious about your current treatment and plan. Have you started any meds? I'm also in Philly.

Hi, I am scheduled for a bronchoscopy/biopsy on Nov. 25th. The size of the nodule is 1.2cm and the radiologist report states suspected malignancy. I never knew that MAC disease could turn into Cancer, but appears in researching it that it can. I wish I had known that because I have been doing a watch and wait for 2 1/2 yrs. I think I would have started the meds had I known.
If it turns out that it's not cancer, I am planning to tell the Dr. I want to start the MAC meds. Hoping for the best outcome but prepared for the worst. I have a pretty good attitude towards dying. My sister died at 51 from lung cancer. I am 77 and so I feel fortunate that I have lived this long. Take care, Barb
