I know this is an old post and I don't know if you're still on here but I just couldn't believe that you had an 8.5 cm cavity! I have a 3.2 CM cavity and I thought that was big! Anyway if you're still on here can you let me know how you're doing? Thank you!

Hello. Thank you for reaching out. Yes....my cavity actually got to a little over 9 cm big. I've been on the Big 3 antibiotic treatment (Ethambutol, Azithromycin and Rifabutin) for 5 years now. I also started the inhaled Amikacin in February 2019 and it has been a game changer. My cavity has shrunk to 4.5 cm with the treatment. I also nebulize Levalbuterol then 3% Saline Solution that is awesome for "lung clearance".
What treatments are you on?
