Have you and known anyone who has, or is being treated by, or "cured", from any of the following lung diseases ?

MAC - Micobacterial Avium Complex lung
NTM - Non-Terberculous Mycobacterial
Tuberculosis - Micobacterial Terberculosis
Any other type of chronic Mycobacterial lung infections
Aspergiliosis - some type of chronic fungal lung disease

Or anything else along those lines, as in chronic ongoing continuing lung damage until properly diagnosed ?

My grandmother (father’s mother) had tuberculosis and went into the hospital when my father was in 2nd grade. She remained in the hospital until he was in 8th grade. This would have been during the 1950s. As a child in the 1970s I saw no ill affects from her time with the disease. She went on to live into her 80s. I can see if I can find out more information from my father if that could help in any way.

I haven't known anyone with the specific lung diseases you referenced.

My wife was diagnosed with IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) in 2015, there was no cure but steroids and a couple other drugs slowed it. She made the best of her remaining time but passed January 2 2019, one day after her 70th birthday. I so miss her and think of her every single day.
I'm still amazed how strong she was in dealing with this horrible lung disease.

My wife's brother got Mycobacteria Tuberculosis when he was in the Army, stationed in Korea in the early 1970's.
He was treated for a couple years as I recall and was cured. He's 74 now.

Mycobacteria (leprosy is also caused by one of them) are very slow growing bacteria which makes them difficult to treat, but they are treatable.
Usually multiple, powerful antibiotics are used over a long period.

There is an "essential oils" vapor product that works very well on fungal problems.
