Has anyone ever been cured of MAC?

Hi Ina,

Are your doctors MAC experts? The reason I ask is that treatment guidelines state that meds should continue until 12 months post initial sputum conversion, so a year would be the very minimum.

Hi, I don't know that I could say my doctors are MAC experts but I think they are or have become very knowledgeable about MAC since my adventure started as they have known about everything I have asked about. They both indicated the treatment had some side effects ~ I just did not realize how bad it could make you feel and how my body was going to react. My doctor is having me change the dosage to three times a week which I am starting today. I'm hoping my body is able to adjust and I am able to cope with the side effects! I am determined to do whatever I have to to get better!

Knowing and understanding what is going on helps so much! I am so glad I found this website and am grateful for all the information you have shared. Thank you so much. Ina
