I'm really concerned about my TB treatment. I've been on the medicine for 45 days now. I recently did a CT scan a couple of days ago, and I attached the new report with the old one. Can you tell if there's any improvement? Also, since I've been diagnosed with TB after the CT scan and bronchoscopy, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to travel abroad. Could you help me out with this?
