@tropauer are your doctors talking about treating the aspergillosis? I was very quickly started on an anti-fungal (voriconazole). The MAC tends to be slow-growing and since my symptoms were mild we waited to start antibiotics. I think that they sometimes treat both simultaneously as well.

@cpolich no. My doc’s approach is that right now the treatment isn’t worth the risk of taking the meds - they didn’t see anything of concern on the CT.
