@sueinmn thank you! I am completely asymptomatic….my mass was found as an incidental finding on a chest x-ray. They want to treat my 3 cm cavitary mess with two years of therapy, which I cannot do. Because it’s an easy accessible mass to remove, I’m hoping that that will make my treatment easier with less antibiotic use .You are the first person who mentioned a cure …..I think that is fantastic!!!

@visions63 Are you aware that even after surgery, you will require many months of antibiotics? If the infection has progressed to the point of creating cavities, it is in other parts of your lung(s) as well and will not be eradicated by surgery.

Is your pulmonologist experienced in treating this rare infection, and the even more rare cavitary form of it?
