Is "tree in bud " nodularity serious?

My MAC relapse cultures are positive for M avium and I have bronchiectasis w/tree and bud, etc. I am going to try to wait on tx, hoping I can prevent worsening CT scan. This time I don't feel too sick: very tired, little cough and afternoon chills. My new MD gave me the aerobika and I am following the directions but having a hard time bringing up much sputum. Trying to stay hydrated. We are trying to move to senior community and I am caregiver for my husband who has Parkinsons. Very stressful! It is so hard to take care of myself with this workload and I think the stress is going to make this infection worse. Sorry to complain.....

I just read your post.
Hope you are doing well and that you are having some help with it all....like the senior community you mentioned. You have a lot on your plate to take care of and do considering what you mentioned in your post and the health of you both.
Stress , especially unrelenting stress, sure does not help before one ever has a diagnosis of a health condition and may be the cause of many illnesses. It sure doesn't help especially after the diagnosis.
I understand STRESS I had much unrelenting stress for many years and consider it as one of the possible causes of my BE, my opinion. No MAC as yet.
Hope you are 'managing'...that's my answer when people ask "How are you doing?"
