@mariierod123 I am proceeding with the biopsy. I want to make sure exactly what it is, what is the best antibiotic etc. My pulmonologist said. MAC makes nodules so this is part of the pattern. I was hoping the pattern would stop with the treatment I have been on already but it didn't happen. He said he it could be a granuloma.

@jkiemen, Hi Jo Ann, I just wanted to add that most people over the age of 50 have nodules in their lungs. Most of the time it isn't anything to worry about. Most mac patients have them, or have had them, or will get them. Mine come and go over time. My dr is not concerned with them. He is only concerned with keeping the mac and pseudo away. Please keep us posted.
