Advice Needed - Suggestive PTB prior to SLEC Exam

[six7one 17]

Recently we received our MNL Case Number. We have not paid nor scheduled for the interview just yet. As such, we have not done the Medical at SLEC either.

Just a few days ago I asked my Fiancee and her daughter to go and get checkups and for my Fiancee to go ahead and get a chest x-ray. Well, her results show minor suggestive PTB. Her doctor has recommended and prescribed medication for 2 months with a follow up exam when the medication is completed. This puts the date at the end of April.

At this point we don't know what we should do. Should we continue the medication for the full 2 months with her doctor? Should we do the exam at St. Luke's as soon as possible and have SLEC prescribe the treatment? If anyone has a similar experience, please let me know what you suggest or how your dealt with the situation.

Although we are disappointed that this may delay things a bit, we are both in agreement that her health is more important now. Just need some guidance on what to do. Thanks in advance fellow VJers.

That's a serious dilemma, what would really suck is to go through 2 months of treatment with your physician only to have St. Luke's want to put your fiancee through their protocol or a partial of it.

Maybe a doctor type will chime in here.

Since we are still at a loss on what to do here, my fiancee will has will just continue her doctor's prescription until. If St. Luke's puts her on another 2 month watch then that's what we'll have to face.
