New here, introducing myself.

Hello! Im an almost 81 y/o and have been through the ringer since January. My MAC was found (as a "tree budding infection) on a CT scan of my chest looking for possible cancer mets from breast cancer 3 yrs ago(all mammos, brain scans, and bloodwork presently negative). I had a mini stroke in January so that's what lead to brainscan. Oncologist want PWT scan but insurance denied, so she ordered a chest, abd, and pelvic CT and the chest CT showed 2 nodes and the infection. Had bronchoscopy on 5/8/25 and finally got the MAC diagnosis. Im dreading the treatment because I have had stomach issues all my adult life. Sorry for writing an epistle...just looking for some supportive friends and info! Forgive typos please!😁
