@sueinmn I have no symptoms. They found what they originally thought was pneumonia because I had a chest CT. So I am not coughing, except a tiny bit because of post nasal drip. When they did a follow up CT 6 weeks later one area was a tiny bit worse. Because some other doctor gave me that news and didn’t want to say much I had my doctor call me, I thought I needed to do something right away. Like take another round of antibiotics. It was on the phone that she briefly told me about what she called and what the CT report said, MAI. And she suggested a biopsy this week. I have an appt with my doctor not long after the biopsy which I expect she will discuss in more detail what I have. Although I do not think she will have biopsy results that quick! So it’s been 4 days since I got this news. Thank you for telling me how you are handling it.
