@trissi , That is great news Trissi, lets hope you never need to take them!
Question. Has anyone used acupuncture lung treatment in an effort to control bronchiectasis and mac?
Hi, Colleen! Sorry I am just now replying! I saw Dr. Kenneth Sakata at Mayo. He is in Pulmonary. I brought all of my records pertaining to my lung issues since April 2017. He is fairly new at the Phoenix Mayo. He came from the Rochester facility. Very nice man spending all the time I needed and asking if I had any more questions before I left. He did suggest that I should go to one of Mayo's Infectious Disease specialists if and when I need to start any treatment. Otherwise, as I said above, he will order a CT scan of the lungs once a year to keep things in check.
Hi @trissi
I moved your message from the Infectious Disease group to the MAC group in the discussion you first started about looking for recommendations for specialists in Phoenix. I'm so glad you found the care you are looking for. I'm sure others would like to know more about the care experience you had and which doctor you saw at Mayo Clinic Arizona. A few other members had questions about Mayo Clinic Arizona.
I, too, am thrilled that you don't need the antibiotics at this time and that you will be monitored by a specialist.
