Does anyone know if there is a protocol for when to start treatment with the "big three" ? I've read different opinions. Some say sooner rather than later, others say not until later ( increased symptoms and lung damage, etc) Is there a more affirmative answer?

My doctor, Dr. Swenson at Emory in Atlanta., told me I should have started treatment as soon as MAC was diagnosed. My pulmonologist at that time and a later one took a wait and see approach resulting in significant lung damage. I don’t know if it varies from patient to patient but in spite of the brutality of the treatment, I would say kill it before it wreaks havoc on your lungs.
