I HAD a 3 cm Cavitary mass from a newly diagnosed NTM infection .
I presented with no symptoms at all and it just showed up as an incidental finding on chest x-ray.I was treated with 5 antibiotics ( one I.V through a PIC line ..that I was only able to tolerate a week .I had contacted a fantastic thoracic surgeon here at NYU ( Dr Robert Cerfolio)who robotically removed my mass !
My 3 month post surgery C.T was negative and I remain asymptomatic!
