You have a unique case here. Most of us fight Mac with antibiotics and act's. The best we can provide is similar experiences but you have not provided details. Is Mac eradicated? Do you have breathing problems. Short of breath or fatigued? What treatment are the recommending?

I too was looking at the pointy end of a scalpel last year for a lobectomy, opted out based on additional opinions. I had a failed resection 4 1/2 years ago that was followed with 28 months of the big 3 along with Amikacin iv and later Arikayce.

At my appt, ID believes they “got the mothership “ and only very small nodules remain. I have no symptoms and never have. If Pulmonologist agrees, I will do saline neb and airway clearing with CT scans every 6 months to monitor.

How are you now Rick?
