Hello all
My wife had been diagnosed with MAC disease in her lungs. Had been treated with the well known 3 different types of antibiotics for 2 years and was feeling well during this period. We stopped for 2 months and the results of the bronchocopy shows MAC again. Doctors restarted again the antibiotics with a possibility for surgery. Anyone aware of the best center for such a surgery? We are living in Dubai, UAE. Many thanks

Welcome back, @nnassiri. It's been a while since you posted last. I'm sorry to hear that your wife's MAC has returned after 2 years of feeling better. Not many members have had surgery for MAC. You'll be interested to read this discussion where @jenblalock shares her experience with considering surgery.

Nnassiri, can you tell us more about what you were told about surgery and treatment options?
