@jimpop738 thanks …just did a lot of research …..My mass was so encapsulated that antibiotics would have never penetrated it to begin with..Only 2 surgeons in NYC do this kind of Robotic surgery and I had the best .. Dr Robert Cerfolio .For me it became a quality of life decision because I couldn’t do the antibiotics.

@visions63 When you say encapsulated, what do you mean. I have cavitary MAC going on 13 yrs… one particular cavity changes a lot. On CT it looks blacker, whiter, bigger or smaller. Ive had it biopsied and recently even a pet scan, in addition to regular CT scans. I never heard that adjective used. I’ve been on two sets of antibiotics but not what you were looking at. I’m picking a screen grab of your share here and that doctor‘s name thank you.
