Thanks Bradix for your time to reply my question.. It's just last month I had my chest Xray.. the result was okay but then it leaves scar and I went to the doctor to ask their opinion and told that I'm for petition.. That's why in advanced me I made my chest Xray again. The doctor recommended me to undergo for sputum.. By Friday released of my sputum result.. To be honest I'm ready already whatever the result may be..

Yeah it def leaves a scar whatever happens. When you undergo your medical with ST.Lukes on your first day better tell them what happened because that will save your time, they will ask what medicine did the doctor prescribe you. 2nd day they will adv you to do sputum they will schedule it for you no additional cost unless you missed the date your supposed to go back for sputum then you will pay out of pocket. On the fourth day they told me to come back. Once sputum test is negative they will do culture sensitivity, in lay man's term it's like they trying to grow your sputum to see if it will be active from TB, after 8weeks is the result. Also they will ask for your previous X-ray perfect if its 6months old, but if not then maybe X-ray you had when you were under medication. The usual medication if it turns out positive is 6months, I heard some patients only had 4months. Thank god I didn't undergo any medication bec the culture result was negative. I hope you would have the same result as mine. God bless.
