Hydrang3a…by any chance do you know the measurement of your cavity? I ask because…presently off the cocktail of big 3 after 6 mths because of side effects. However it seems my cavity grew 6-7-8 mm now after 11 months. NJH was okay me going off meds for now because my bronchiectasis is mild, & I am asymptomatic except for occasional fatigue, SOB, or pain in ribs…I have no sputum to produce any cultures to lab. My ID doc is concerned about cavity growing. What did NJH pose to you as requirement size to remove the cavity? I repeat Scan this Nov. to remeasure size and thus begins the doctors debate. Anyone else with cavity size information or procedure?Thanks

@cmi…don’t remember my cavity size….my surgery to remove it was postponed 3 years ago…after 18 months of the big 3 and negative cultures and feeling well…..however looking back on it all I wish I had had the surgery then as opposed to getting terribly sick now needing 6 months of multiple daily IV antibiotics and surgery next month to remove it. The problem with cavities is they attract and are breeding ground for microbacteria….you may be lucky and never get sick but I still have no idea how I got another bug….I was super healthy super careful, didn’t drink, smoke or stay up late….I hardly went anywhere because of Covid, got my vaccines early in Dec and Jan……I really think cavities are Microbacterium magnets and no matter how healthy or good I was ….these bad bugs found me. Hope they don’t find you.
