I Am Set To Get My Chest X-Rayed This Morning To See If I Am Responding To My TB Medication

Me and my parents will go to the adjacent city which is just a few kilometers away from where I live and have my chest taken with X-ray for my Pulmunologist doctor to see the changes done by my two months therapy regarding my tuberculosis condition.

I am a bit nervous because I might not be responding yet to the rifampicin/isoniazid combination, the drug for tuberculosis if it would get manifested by the X-ray then I might be given with either additional medicines or continue it or both plus another two months stay in our current dialysis schedule on the third set/batch which makes us to pay extra bill than the usual normal amount that has to be paid.

It is just disheartening that I am already sick with that disease and at the same time being charged extra because it is still a burden to the pocket that should just go to my other necessities than paying nurse's and doctor's PPE's that are by the way reusable while I am not seeing an extensive use of the alcohol as well.

Anyway I am just not hoping much that I will see a good result since my lungs will always give an impression of maybe TB or Pneumonia and my only hope was that a blood test showing that I have no more Monocytes or Lymphocyte elevations.

I just wanted the X-ray done today because my next doctor's appointment would be around Monday or Tuesday next week before my TB medication gets all used-up because I should not skip doses since it is important to be consistent in taking that drug for TB.

I also do not want to get X-rayed with my chest a day before my dialysis or I am already having the gurgling sound in my lungs again as it might show or a cause of false positive with TB regarding X-ray. I just wanted to be freshly removed with extra water via dialysis before the chest X-ray which God-willing will be this morning.

If I will not be able to get an X-ray today for some reason then I will have to do it tomorrow and if they would get strict then I might just have to do it in the hospital beside my dialysis center the soonest possible time.

I am not hoping much about the chest X-ray results would be because I am used to much bad news in my life because my mere existence is a bad news already another bad news will just be like another dirt in a pile of dirt already in my life. But tuberculosis is easily treatable now as I have learned, you just have to religiously take the medicines for it which is just easy to buy and take in a daily basis.

Again if you are concerned about me then you can offer prayers because prayers work. I still wanted to get better if not fully 100% then at least I want to achieve something that will improve my life a little more with regards to being normal. God bless you all.
