Hi Renee - That's a good question! And I don't know the answer, either. Are you up for a challenge? Would you do a little research on line and see if you can find out? I bet there are a lot of people like me who would love to know the answer.

I am a good researcher so I’ll get at that. I just was hoping someone already knew the answer. Lol
I will report when I find out the answer.

Perhaps this is relevant here. Since my CT scan didn't show a lot of change after five years, I was wanting to watch and wait when bronchoscopy turned up MAC last November. I requested a second opinion and was lucky enough to get to see Dr. Kevin Winthrop, ID at OHSU, and he has convinced me to treat now, by showing me that although there is not a lot of change on my scans, there are now signs of disease in my left lung as well as the right, and that it is likely to continue to spread. My sputum test is again positive for MAC, now waiting for susceptibility findings, and I will see him this week to determine treatment, possibly as a participant in one of his clinical trials.
