Like Scoop said we are all alike in certain ways but different. It’s been really interesting being part of this group and learning how everyone is dealing with their disease. I was very overwhelmed when I was diagnosed with Covid 19, pneumonia and after a bronchoscopy Aspergillus and MAC. Since my ID doctor had not treated anyone with both aspergillus and MAC I chose to get a second opinion from Mayo. My aspergillus was treated with an antifungal for 3 months. Thankfully the mass on my left lung cleared up and the pneumonia resolved. We then focused on MAC. Per recommendation from my Mayo doctors I did watch and wait for about 10 months. It was decided to start treatment with the big 3 antibiotics due to changes in my CT scan. I’m 8 months into my MAC treatment with a few medication changes over the past few months. . It’s been helpful to just take things one day at a time. I’m not really sure when I’ll be finished with treatment but am really trying to focus on living my life. Today I went to the zoo with my granddaughters which was so much fun! I hope you have a good ID doctor and pulmonologist. I wish you the best of luck with your journey. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
