Hoping for a speedy recovery @judyhodgern. I will have surgery on March 11, 2020. Surgeon will remove my right middle and lower lobes. Had MAC in 2012 and 2018. When I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis in 2012, my right middle lobe was affected. In 2018, infection went down further to my lower lobe. I am really scared. I don’t want to be on antibiotics the rest of my life and I don’t want the infection to eventually destroy my entire right lung that’s why I decided to go for the surgery. Surgeon will plan for VATS (laparoscopic) but there’s a 50% chance that he will do open surgery. Please keep me in your prayers.

Please keep us informed. I will have surgery in April for a right lung lobe removal. Prayers for you, Jasmine!
When I am afraid I remember what someone told me years ago which is that God is closer to us than the paint on the wall in the room we are in - please feel that, be comforted by that, and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. (Irene5)
