Laparoscopic surgery to strip MAC infection from small area in lung

My ID doctor reported that CT scan is not just stable but improved after 7 months on 2 antibiotics. I’m great with that, but then he brought up the idea of laparoscopic surgery to “strip away” a small area where MAC is likely still hanging out so it can’t continue to release MAC into the rest of my lungs.

He’s not sure what is possible or advisable in my case, but thinks I might be a good candidate. I have agreed to a consultation with their surgeon at OHSU, who he says is conservative, but am not thrilled about the idea of surgery, especially since I’m doing so well at 80 years.

I went looking for information, of course, and what I found seems to suggest that this sort of surgery is for those for whom the drugs are not working. I should probably wait until I talk with the surgeon, but thought while I’m waiting, I’d put the question to this group. It might help me clarify my own questions for the discussion. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this sort of surgery?

Thanks,
Anna
