Hi Lvo. I will find out some time next week also. Originally I was told abscessus/bollettii.....I am now being told that they "think" this (MAI) may be the dominant cause of radiographic changes. So pulmonary doctor, infectious disease doctor & doctor from National Jewish are suggesting to start treating the MAI (mycobacterium avium intracellular) as the treatment is safer and better tolerated. I am also being told that this treatment will not affect later ability to treat chelonae abscessus.......I feel like a ping pong ball! One week told one thing, next week another. This sounds to me like eventually I'd have to be treated for the abscessus....crazy. I guess I'll know more after talking to infectious disease doctor next week. Just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me right now.  I hope you're feeling better and stay that way!!

thank you! just in time....waiting for call from ID doctor about possible treatment. :)
