MAC nodules
Hi, everyone. Hope you are having a good day. I thought I knew almost everything about the MAC disease was diagnosed with five years ago.
Six months ago nodules were found in my lungs. I am having another catscan in a few weeks. I haven't seen my pulmonologist since them.
I am 85 and have gotten more and more tired since that last catscan and shorter of breath. 'But still walk 2 miles every day. My questions are this:
Does everyone with MAC get nodules? What are your experiences with this nodule thing? Thank you so much for any information. Elizabeth
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.
@fdixon63 I am new here. Where is Emory?
Yes I wondered that too.
@bibes just read this note of yours. I’m having a bronchoscope Tuesday……is it that bad? I hope not.
Emory Health Care St. Joseph's Pulmonary Dept. in Atlanta, GA. Scheduling number is 404-251-1700. They said you aren't required to be referred but usually are. Best of luck with everything. It is a real learning experience and knowledge is power.
I’m new. What is BX?
BX is the abbreviation for biopsy.
