CT Scans vs Sputum Cultures, which is more important?

Hi Renee, I'm glad to hear you are able to keep going and are nto seeing restrictions in your breathing.
One tip, from an avid gardener - mulch & soil, specifically the dust it raises, can be full of NTM bacteria, mold spores and other nasty stuff. Be sure to wear a well-fitted N95 mask while handling it, shower and wash your clothes afterward. My pulmonologist and ID doc told me gardening is safe to do with these reasonable precautions.
I know it's a pain - nothing I hate worse than breathing through a mask when I'm already hot and sweaty - but it is a step towards staying safe.

My neighbor bought me some of those masks and keeps an eye on me to be sure I am wearing one when I’m mowing and spraying and stuff in my yard. I plan on living for a long time and don’t intend for this to keep me from doing things. At least I am a fighter and not a sitter. I think my attitude about it not getting me down is bound to help 😃 Well, hopefully anyway.
