My husband finished 6 months of medication for mediastinal lymph node TB, and I've attached his reports. Originally, his node was 7cm by 3cm. During this period, he gained 9kg, and while he used to have a fever, thats gone now and his cough is a bit better. But he still coughs around 30 times a day, and I'm counting each one. Could it be something serious like cancer since his cough hasn't completely cleared up yet?

I'm about to start a job in the Gulf, and I recently had a chest x-ray that showed a little grey color. I'm worried it might cause issues during the medical test for my job. Do you think it's okay to go ahead with the medical test as it is, or should I consider getting treatment first? Any advice would really help.
