I am not a doctor. Nonetheless, I did notice TB has been in the news lately, the story with the woman who is on the lam because she did not want treatment. I also noticed a story that J&J (Janssen) may have a patent expiration coming up for their TB drug, another story that other countries are fighting the high cost of their drug, and we know they just returned expired c19 jabs. It sounds like the doctors may be open to a conversation about this diagnosis and you can help prepare by looking at the safety profiles of the various treatment options. I think it is possible that we have more TB cases coming across the border and this could be an accurate diagnosis, but I also think it is possible there are other incentives for some of the diagnoses we might see. If there is fear, taking steps to empower oneself generally helps alleviate it.

Yes, I think you are right. I’m also grateful that he is very lucky with his Drs and his surgeons. The surgeon was awesome and kept me well informed. I just found out he is a HUGE Tucker Carlson fan, so reading between the lines of that fact, and the care and concern from him, I know he is a good human being and is trying to help people and not hurt them.
