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

I sent her an email. Haven't got results from bronchoscopy.
Wondering a couple of things, do some folks feel better after a month or two of antibiotics? Do folks work FT jobs with Mac Lung. I read an articles about preparing living with MAC Lung and it says that women may not be able to do chores, cook or work their jobs. I am a single mom. I have close friends and family but I pretty much have to take care of my daughter and me. It scares me to see that I may not be able to maintain my job. Right now, it is not super fun teaching wearing an n95 and surgical mask but I can do it. Another thing, how to navigate Mac Lung with Covid. I have a 14 year old daughter who goes to school with other kids and has friends. Daunting and I don't have a diagnosis yet.

@aima1234 I was diagnosed five years ago with MAC and Bronchiectasis and have continued to work full time. I have a retail store that's open seven days a week and I still work six days a week. For me, there wasn't much of a choice. I HAD to work. I think mindset has a lot to do with it. I did cut back on my hours because I had to start exercising everyday (six days a week) and then nebulizing 7% everyday. So all that has taken some time out of a work day but I knew had to start working to keep fit so I could fight this thing back. Nan
