I am sorry to hear this. Last July I was at MD Anderson in Houston,Texas. 2 masses showed in my lungs. A biopsy was done and a saline lung wash at the same time while I was sedated. They cultured all the lung fluid and ,yes I have MAC. Unbelievable results. The masses were infection, one was 5cm the other larger. Whew! Not cancer. I haven’t had a cough since. No more daily symptoms. At My check up with my pulmonologist in February in Branson I asked if he knew about lung washes. He said yes but wouldn’t answer my questions about why he didn’t do them. The infection nodes disappeared and I can now do my dailies and feel less susceptible to illness when around others.
I also was told there is a MAC specialty facility in Longview, Texas if I ever have symptoms again.
Imagine. A year without coughing up anything. A year without feeling like you’re drowning. The days I use to rarely are anymore. I wish the best for you. I can look up the name of the procedure and the sizes of the infection nodes if that helps. I did go thru breast cancer surgery and these nodes were directly behind the tumor but in my lungs.
