Sue, your comments are always so thoughtful and helpful. We appreciate your mentoring immensely.
I was wondering, you mention that your condition/symptoms have been stable the last few years, do you have regular sputum cultures? How often? And do the cultures still show NTM/MAC? Thank you if you want to share.

Hi Sue, for the first year I had sputum cultures every 6 months, and they were positive. At that point the ID doc and pulmonologist suggested we rely on an annual CT and symptoms, since there was no plan to treat.
I recently asked if we should do another culture "just to be sure" nothing else is there - I am waiting for a reply.
Sue
