I am surprised you developed a secondary infection in month 16. I was on the big 3 for 28 months, then off for 6 months, then developed a secondary infection and started the big 3 for 12 months which turned out to be a fungal infection that I am treated for now. Reoccurring MAC is fairly common, usually well after the initial treatment. No much advise here, but you aren't alone.

I am curious to know how your body reacted to taking the antibiotics for such a long time. I’ve been diagnosed with MAC and we are waiting for last part of sputum results before I go on the protocol. I usually do not do
well with meds so I am nervous as to how I will do with the antibiotics.
