Delaying treatment question

I hadn't delayed on purpose, but waiting for particular results, I had a 10 cm cavity form within 30 days. The NTM site that is referred to on here strongly suggests starting treatment asap. I wish I had started sooner. The damage depending on strain can be dangerous

Suzyqueue, you developed a 10 cm cavity and 30 days?! I was just making sure that was correct. That's insane. I also had a lot of nodules and consolidation that moved from one lung to the other very quickly and they were extremely concerned about that. That was in about 30 days. So I guess these things happen, but it's not very common that it happens that quick. Thankfully. In my case, the antibiotics worked very well. I hope you're doing good!)))
