@tdrell I am also from near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I see a Pulmonologist at Froedert but looking for ID doc. I just had my right middle lobe removed on Apr 8, as it was filled with MAC. Do you have a good Infectious Disease doc?

@angiejohnson ...was your lobe removed via closed surgery or did you have the traditional open lobectomy???hope it heals well and helps the MAC situation....will they do cultures afterwards for follow up.?
And the Aurora ID doctor l went to in Grafton Wi was the one who automatically would have put me on the big three after one positive culture and no evidence on CAT scan....no would not go back to her ….also was sent in the Froedert system in West Bend a few years later (after I switched from Aurora Pulmonologist to Froedert one in West Bend) to a ID doctor ,.....a Dr Castro or something simililar….again he was nice and l think conscientious but not l sensed too aware of NTM protocol....wanted to treat me after one positive culture...and no CAT scan evidence....NJH for annual appt there again said "NO signs of infection" Tdrell aka Terri
