Thanks Sue, the army doctor referred me to my current doctor who is a pulmonologist who did the bronch. My pulmonologist is referring me to the infectious medicine doctor to treat the MAC but unfortunately isn’t a lung specialist only infectious medicine. I asked my army doctor whom you’re right isn’t very familiar with this to refer me to a different pulmonologist who also specializes in complex lung infections which would also be able to provide a second opinion on everything hopefully. I hope the referral process is fast. Good to know it’s a relatively slow growing infection until I can meet with the new doctor. I will ask my current pulmonologist the questions you previously asked those are very good questions. Thanks again. I hope wherever you are in this process is going well for you! I’ll post an update once I know more. Have a good weekend.
