No Bronchiectasis or infection

No Covid (or if I had it, it was so mild I did not know I was sick)

I had a CT Scan prior to having an Atrial Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and some small nodules were seen in my lungs leading to further follow up.

This last visit with the Pulmonologist scheduled the next follow up CT for January.

I do not smoke. I am an active person and in my opinion I follow a good diet. My husband has Chronic Renal Failure (no dialysis thank goodness) and I follow a renal diet for him and by default myself. I just add some salt to my food if needed.

I think I could be comfortable with the wait and watch approach if I get a second opinion from someone who will listen to my concerns and answers my questions without a dismissive go home and don't worry about it. I need more reassurance and info about my current status than that.

I think my focus right now will be to learn all I can about MAC and find a second opinion wherever that my be.

Any further suggestions or information are welcome and appreciated! Thank you again.

Hi cwal,

Maybe I'm misinterpreting your post, but if you have no infection, why are you trying to learn about MAC infections? Also, how did they determine you aren't infected? Have they determined the cause of your nodules? Per my understanding, nodules = infection (MAC or otherwise). How did they determine you have no infection despite the presence of nodules?
