My wife had been diagnosed with MAC disease in her lungs. Had been treated with the well known 3 different types of antibiotics for 2 years and was feeling well during the treatment. Stopped taking the 3 antibiotics and 2 months after, the results of the bronchoscopy shows MAC again. Doctors restarted again the 3 big antibiotics with a possibility of surgery. Anyone aware of the best center for such a surgery? God bless you all

@nnassiri Nass, can you tell us where you are located, whether she is currently seeing a doc who specializes in MAC, and why they are recommending surgery? Both National Jewish Health and Mayo are well known for their work with MAC. There are other specialists around the country as well. There are also other drugs that can be tried before surgery, but it depends on the extent of damage in the lungs as well. Sue
