@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

Thanks Sue. We are living in Dubai. My wife re started the 3 Big antibiotics and Tobramycin under the supervision of her doctors for 3 months and then will see how things are going on. Her symptoms are much better now after a month and I see a good improvement. The question is why not keep her on the same medications for 3 or even 4 years rather than going for surgery as long as no side effects from these medicines through periodically testing kidney, sight, and hearing. I am not a specialist this is at least my wish. God bless you all.
