New to MAC and considering treatments options: What did you do?

Thank you as that is what my own thought leaned toward. Now how do I find a pulmonologist that is well-versed in MAC?
The only tip off I received was Express Script had my records and knew from another medication for a different problem that I’ve had trouble swallowing large pills since radiation for tonsil cancer. They cancelled that order when they heard nothing back from my pulmonologist.

If you have a pulmonologist or pulmonology group you want to see, call and ask who is experienced. For an individual doctor, look up their profile, which will show their certifications and areas of interest or specialty. Otherwise, check with your nearest teaching hospital or medical school for a referral.
I f you happen to be near a Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN Jacksonville, FL or Phoenix, AZ) National Jewish Health (Denver, CO) or University of Texas, Tyler all have excellent Bronchiectasis/MAC treatment centers.
