Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks for the information. I had a cat Scan last Friday and I have three sputum's being tested. The Doctor did tell me it's in the TB family but we have to wait and see what grows before treating it. I also have been Doctoring at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN they will get my cat scan tomorrow and will call me to let me know what they think. I am keeping my fingers crossed and doing a lot of praying that it doesn't take 18 months like they suggested. I also have a pouch so I don't know how it will affect it. I had my colon rremoved ten years ago. Thanks again for the reply, I can use any sort of information I can find.

Mycobacterium After having my cat scan today, I seened the Doctor and he said I have mycobacterium in my lungs. We did a spetum today and I have to mail in two more. Has anyone else ever been told this or treated for it?? It sounds pretty serious to me. Joy L from Wisconsin.
