Anyone had flu and pneumonia shot while on this 3 meds? My PCP Dr. told me to get a this shot. I'm just want to make sure that they will not interfere with the meds I'm taking. Just got a good news, saw my Pul.Dr. last week and did CT scan and it shows the improvement of nodular on both lower lobes. I can see that the meds are working. Hopefully another 6 month I will get this critter out of my lungs. Thank you all for your kindness and support. Cila

Hi Cila, YES .. absolutely get both! I have gotten what is called the FLUZONE SHOT (flu shot) every single year since I turned age 65 .. and certainly since I've had MAC. It is really important as well as the pneumonia shot! We need to take every precaution with our lungs .. in fact I am at the point I now get "booster shots" for pneumonia .. that is how careful I have been!
Cila, I am so happy you see an improvement .. isn't that just great! You just keep on keepin' on Girl! Hugs! Katherine
Hello Kay, I have been on meds for 6 month now and he will check it again in 6 month. I'm not off the meds yet, I'm still taking them hopefully not for long. I don't get depress much anymore I tried my best to look on the bright side of like. I hope Pray this coming New Year brings all Blessing to all of us here in the forum. Cila

My doc said to get a super flu shot and pneumonia vaccine and I'm taking the big 3 also.
Good news on your nodules. I have one, and it is a cavity. Which got thinner but not smaller the first 3 months. How long did the meds take to make a change. So encouraging when one of our group gets off meds and is doing well. Celebrate!!
Regards
Kay
