@marycronin Yes, the MAC went away with antibiotics and airway clearance with 7% saline. That was in early 2020 and it has not returned. I still do airway clearance, with occasional use of 7% saline and my lungs remain clear of infection (but not mucus.) In addition to Bronchiectasis, I also have asthma and allergies, and one of the keys to avoiding infection is to keep those under control.

All in all, I live a pretty normal life after at least 8 years with Bronchiectasis.

@sueinmn did you experience any side effects from all the medication you had to take? I heard the side effects can be pretty serious.
