@jasmine321 Mine grew the same. I started the Antibiotics about 2.5 years after the diagnosis. I am on month 11 of treatment. I think my Pulmonologist would like up to 18 months if tolerated. He says the bacteria is so slow growing that you need long term antibiotic to catch all the bacteria in its various stages when susceptible. So far tolerating with occasional stomach aches and fatigue. I am still working full time with it.
