I had my lung removed because tests showed that it was only working 23% and Dr. Huitt advised removal as it was filled also with bacteria. I took Rifampin, ethambutol, and azithromycin for 4 years with no change so I went to NJH and had my lung removed and have been doing very well for the last 4 1/2 years with no bacteria. Just this month, the abscesses massilience has shown up. What kind of abscesses do you have? I will be going to see Dr. Huitt on August 16th.
