@bayarea58 @yaduhyaduhsquawk My recent CT Scan showed improvement, mucus plug gone from what was said to be worse on the CT Scan findings before this last CT Scan and the doctor also said less inflammation. Hoping it stays that way or gets even better.

I have not been on antibiotics with the low intercellular infection. I was put on wait and watch in 2023 by the NJH doctor. There is now very little to nothing being reported in the last couple of sputum samples for the intercellular. No new bacteria either, so far.
Just hope that all holds.

Also, early on three doctors other than NJH thought I should try the antibiotics. One doctor said...if in six months and no change I could decide to get off or continue with the antibiotics. I believe they expect and hope for a change in six months and then if there is a change continue for another six months to hopefully wipe out the infection. completely. As many of us have now learned. wipe it out or is it just hiding???
I say all this about my journey since 2023 because of "we are all different." This makes it difficult to know the why of things for us and for the doctors, I would imagine.
