Hi Everyone ! I hope you all are recovering well from TB.

I got my xray report today to see progress after two months of medication. Here's what doctor said :

1. He say a shadow in middle of left lung completely disappear and overall lungs look clean.

2. The upper left lobe of left lung a bigger damage area now compared to two months before. Doctor told its most probably due to variations in xray and not an actual increase in damage size.

3. He said I am recovering well otherwise since I dont have any tb symptoms right now.

Is this something to worry about?

That’s really good to hear! Keep taking the medication to make sure TB bacteria are killed. It takes a long time to kill them off and that is why the treatment takes so long. Sounds like everything is going very well!
