Hi Sue!
Doctor wants to take the wait & see approach. He says my Bronchiectasis is mild and that this recent culture showed no detection of MAC. My CT scan from July still looks relatively good. He acknowledges the mycobacterium abscessus and it’s serious nature but feels that I should continue Big 3 until end of year, do another CT scan then, and re access the situation at that time. He has standing orders for Sputum testing every 2 weeks (HA!)) but thinks that since I have been able to produce sputum during exerbation that there is no need for evasive bronchoscopy right now. He thinks when I come off big 3 in December that I should start feeling better physically and he wants my body to have some rest from meds, says absessus treatment is harsh.
What do you think?
Thanks! Dee
