@blm1007blm1007 who is your pulmonologist at Columbia?
My NTM cavitary mass was the first found on a chest x-ray as an incidental finding. I am completely asymptomatic. I did the usual CT scans ,PET scans, and then a biopsy at Cornell. I found that they never got back to me. Part of the cultures they took during the biopsy was never reported months after. They tried to switch to an assistant from the Doctor to perform my biopsy last minute while I was already in the operating room …I fought that and won .I then switched to NYU…. I now couldn’t take the three weeks of excessive antibiotics and IV via PICC line and now just doing surgery on March 2 to remove my 2.9 cm mass . NYU is far better than Cornell, which I found disrespectful nurse practitioners and doctors changing things around all the time and never getting back to you for important info .
NYU is on top of everything. Nothing is being switched around easy communication totally different environment.!!!
