I had appointments Monday through the following Monday. The second Monday is when the pulmonologist went through everything with me and ordered a few more tests to be done on Monday. I went home on Tuesday. Your schedule may be different. I thought the weekend was a waste of my time sandwiched between testing. I guess that's the only way to get in everything for a first timer. Nice your husband can come for some of the time. Roz

@rozie83 My appointment with NJH is scheduled for the end of April 2026. My local doctor diagnosed me with MAC in December 2025. I had a bronchoscopy in January 2026. I just received a call from my local pulmonologist that my culture was negative for MAC. I assume I should still proceed with my appointment at NJH this April. I have had BE for 14 years. I will be 59 yrs old this year. I have read that women starting in their 60s, who are thin and have BE, are more likely to get MAC. Heck, is there a chance the local culture is incorrect? Can anyone give me some insight into this?
