Just got second CT Scan says probably MAC. I am a K teacher

What a roller coaster ride. Thought I had GPA vasculitis but just found out after retaking the blood test that the initial blood test was a false positive. Currently back to work FT feel 65/70% of self but glad to not be as stressed out about money. Eating super healthy foods, sleeping and trying to exercise everyday.
Can folks with MAC lung have surgery? I have breast implants and my cosmetic surgeon suspects a leak, rheumatologist said there is a lot of association between implants and autoimmune disease. Before all of this I was planning to get them removed this year.

This is, of course, a question for the surgeon, based on your personal condition. That said, I had surgery while I had active MAC in my lungs. The surgeon, in conjunction with my pulmonologist, had me stop the antibiotics for one week prior to surgery and one week after. He said this was necessary because antibiotics were used in the ortho surgery.
Have you asked your doctors'opinions yet?
