I do love to research! And I have been fascinated by phages since hearing about them many years ago. Not only will it be great for those of us with NTM disease, but all sorts of infections inside and out of the body could be eradicated with the right phage.
Do you have NTM, Sue?
Best wishes, Mary

Mary, I have bronchiectasis, had pseudomonas and NTM. I was treated for almost 2 years, but the NTM cultures were never negative. I stopped the 3 antibiotics in December 2019 and have relied on airway clearance with saline ever since. So far, I am maintaining and the bronchiectasis is "stable".
Are you being treated for NTM?
