@janrn1 HI Jan, I am a lung patient - asthma, bronciectasis and mycobacteria avium complex (MAC - a relative of TB), but not a Mayo patient. What I have learned in this journey is that you need both a lung doc well-versed in your condition and an infectious disease doc, preferably people who are accustomed to working together. If you are located in an area with multi-disciplinary clinics, I would start there. While Mayo is awesome, it helps in the long run to have a local team - maybe working in tandem with the Mayo docs - that is what my brother does with his complicated asthma condition.
If you let us know where you are located, there will be someone in the group with a suggestion for you.
Sue

Hi Sue, I am in Lexington VA and about an hour and 30minutes away from the University Medical Center.TT
My lung culture they say will not be done until July for final results to establish MAC or TB. I do need an infectious disease wizard . I am not feeling well and can't imagine waiting 50 days for the final results. I am having a CT on Friday. Thanks for your help Sue
