My doctors did not expect improvement in the CT with treatment but hopefully no worsening. My cultures have been free of MAC for two years but CT no better
Have you had recent cultures? This always seems a more reliable indicator of active disease, at least for me as I never had symptoms

Thanks for your thoughts. My cultures are negative. Saw my pulmonologist yesterday and he said yes my ct isn't worst. Will continue to monitor every 6 mo due to the amount of nodules i have. Making sure that they are not cancerous. I had neck cancer so i worry about getting another cancer. i thought the meds would clear it all but i was wrong. Need to enjoy my life and continue the airway clearance to keep infection from growing.
