Pop55, how are you feeling about not going on treatment at this time?

Thank you! I have found a great DR in my area on NTM..org. Its a very scary diagnosis and the treatment sounds terrible. I am hoping to find someone else who has experience with M abscesses and hear what they did. I am also trying to get a consult at National Jewish before I jump into treatment.
