Repeat Xray 1,2,3rd time

[Fmg.28]

oct 18- upfront medical, 1st xray.
Smear- negative
sputum- waiting time 8weeks, negative
jan 18- repeat xray. Cleared by physician
was asked again by st.lukes to repeat xray on april 18. That is 3 months again.

if i have some communicable disease, it is better to juts get medication. 6 months of waiting and repeat xrays is exhausting and nonsense. I have anxiety and i dont even know why they want me to repeat my xrays.

can i just visit a specialist to really know what is wrong and ask him to send recommendations to ircc?

You can visit any specialist you wish. It will have no effect on IRCC medical decision making. It is likely they saw something different from Oct 18 to Jan 18 xray. SO they will ask for a 3rd Xray. TB diagnosis is not 100% accurate, your sputum test being negative does not mean 100% TB Free. Now if you think you can cure TB in a short time with medication you are incorrect. It takes some people 1 year of taking medication to clear it. Be patient.

Thank you for this, i needed the explanation. Looks like id just have to wait. Im scared that i might get some virus or bacteria in the next 3 months before my 3rd xray.
