Bon, I think you should talk to your doc before stopping the meds. I can't remember if your MAC has cavities? That makes it trickier to treat successfully.
What airway clearance are you using? Maybe you can convince the doc that you will be really, really faithful doing it for 6 months and then have him retest sputum and do another CT on your lungs? Some people hare have been successful in reducing MAC levels and healing lungs, but it is an every day 2-3 times a day therapy - so it can be time consuming.

Maybe worth a try?
