Hi Pop55 welcome to a very informative website for NTM. Everyone is very nice and you will gain lots of info!!It can be overwhelming at first. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago with a large cavity in my lung—m abscessus. My pulmonologist consults with my Dr at NJH. I have had several iv’s and meds by mouth along the way. No allergies or side effects🙏🏻I had my upper rt lobe removed 12/12/19. I am high anxiety person but find With taking each day and doing the Dr plan—-I have gotten rid of abscessus and now have MAC—but it’s easier to Rx and cure—they say. Don’t cough as much—I push my self to keep active—-hard with SOB and fatigue . Ask any questions—we are here to help and encourage! Judy
