@kathyhg Hi Kathy! I really liked your last sentence. That is the precise intention of this group. I just met with my Mayo doctor last week and we discussed how each individual with mac should have a tailor-made treatment plan. Beware those that only use the Big 3 treatment plan or want to jump on those three meds at the first inclination of mac infection. BTW, my dr also said again that the biggest culprit of bronchiectasis and mac is GERD, otherwise known as acid reflux. If you treat that, then you may likely stop the infection and reinfection of mac. Many people have what is known as silent reflux; meaning there are no apparent symptoms. I make a list of questions before I see my dr also. When will you see your mac specialist?
