@katemn I
go to Dr. Jack Leventhal. Katherine, you may have been one of the patients that
was severe enough to require the BIG THREE, also, you may have been put on those
years back when they thought that was the necessary standard. But, do ask
him/her what their current thoughts are on using the BIG THREE. I think
someone on our forum saw Dr Askamet recently and she was confused because he did
not want to treat hers just yet. Wanted to wait and see. Remember she was upset
about waiting for fear of the infection getting worse and damaging lung tissue?
Keep in mind Dr Leventhal said he now treats MAC patients with
 individual treatment plans because there are so many variables. I look
forward to hear what your Dr's take is on this.

Unfortunately, I just learned that Dr. Levanthal has retired. Dr. Johnson has taken his place.
