That's great news Sue. Could you tell us the date of your last positive culture for MAC? I assume it was before the time you stopped taking antibiotics. Bill

Actually, it was in December 2019, but we still discontinued the antibiotics because my body was no longer able to tolerate them, and the cavities in my lungs had improved. As of yesterday, my pulmonologist said she sees no reason to repeat the culture because the lungs are stable and I have no symptoms. She doesn't want to do it because I'm not producing much mucus and she doesn't see want to put me through a bronchoscopy.
Of course, with the cold and flu season coming, that could change...
