Hi Sue... a little background on me. I am 34 in the military. Deployed 3 times to Iraq once to Afghanistan. Most likely got the broncheastasis from the burn pits as I am otherwise very healthy never smoked. Last 2-1/2 years I been coughing small amounts of blood so I thought I should finally tell the doc. They did chest X-ray and saw some abnormalities. Followed up by ct and found bilateral scarring on the lungs and multiple modules and cavities. They biopsied the suspicious nodule and diagnosed with MAC lung disease. My pulmonary doctor doesn’t seem to be very knowledgeable and referred me to infectious medicine doctor who I haven’t met with yet due to referral process. I’m trying to get second opinion from a different pulmonologist on everything. I’ve had no mention of treatment for the broncheastasis. My condition is getting worse by the day and my lungs feel like they are on fire. I’ve called twice asking about the medication prescribed with no answer. It is really disappointing. For now I am taking the ethambutol and arythromycin until I can get more answers. I just feel like time is not on my side and this isn’t doing what it needs to do to treat it. Thank you for the reply.
