@lampstone Hi there. I am sorry your mac is back, but not surprised. My Mayo doc has me on maintenance (preventative) meds although I have tested negative since 2014. It is a light dose of 10 day a month antibiotics. Sometimes a 28 day of tobramycin to keep the pseudomonas away. Were you also diagnosed with bronchiectasis?

Although I haven’t entered the discussion for quite some time, I’m sending my thoughts to all who are challenged with various infections. I also have a question-I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis in 2017 and now nebulizer twice daily with albuterol and 7% saline, along with twice daily vest therapy. I have experienced one exacerbation but no infections to date. Although I am very happy about this, I’m guessing there are no similarities in how this disease progresses?

Yes. Since the beginning in 2014.
I saw the radiologist report of my chest CT last week. First time I have had “tree in bud” on an X-ray.
