Possibly MAC now too!

2 Replies

I am having a bronchoscopy on October 2nd. Just had another CT scan yesterday. Pulmonary doctor wants to check me for MAC. It looks like I may have that fun disease along with the Bronchiectasis and a bout with pseudomonas. It just keeps getting better and better. Anyone familiar with MAC? I believe I would have to be on three or four antibiotics for over a year. Feeling doomed. Thanks for letting me vent. 😔

Hope the bronchoscopy goes well today! I must admit I haven't heard of MAC before but will do some research later on. Hopefully it's not as bad as you fear
