Thank you all for your response. Naiyak ako but then again, wala na akong magagawa and all the wedding plans will have to rescheduled from December until summer next year. I just feel so weak now that all the holiday plans will be cancelled. Unfortunately, I will need 4 weeks pa before I can resign from my current job, of course, I dont want to burn bridges so I need a graceful exit before I leave the Philippines

Anyway, it took me a few hours to dwell on this sad fate and now I have accepted it. Salamat sa advice, it really helps!

Thank you for the advice. Well, I guess I will have to accept that this is the process, and there's nothing much I can do since I already had this PTB history. Oh well, masakit lang coz siyempre, with all expectations set and the wedding schedule, biglang magbabago, but then again, there's a reason for everything.

I really had no idea at first, I thought the x-ray comparison would be enough but thanks to all your posts, it really helps a lot and it helped me understand. I did cry though since it looks like we may have to postpone the wedding by summer next year, but yeah, this whole process taught me to be patient, and this made me realize and appreciate everything else despite the delay.

Thanks ulit

I went through my first day today and brought my old films + medical certificate since I also had previous PTB case. The physician in St. Luke requested more information so I have to go back to my pulmonologist in Makati. She told me to get the additional medical certificate that should indicate the medicines I took, dosage, and the duration. I will need to bring it when I come back for my x-ray results.

I am still not sure if they will require me to go through sputum test but after what i've read through the post here, it looks like I will have to go through it too. A couple of questions to you and to others who may have went through the same thing

1. If you had previous PTB case and you have med cert that says you have been cured, would they still require you to do sputum test?

2. If you go through sputum test and all 3 tests are negative, do they still require a culture test?

Thanks so much as another 2 months will badly hit our schedule and I am really hoping to fly to the CA on December during my boyfriend's winter school break >>> when we plan to get married.

TO TINA:

Have you had your medical exam yet? I went through my first day today and brought my old films + medical certificate since I also had previous PTB case. The physician in St. Luke requested more information so I have to go back to my pulmonologist in Makati. She told me to get the additional medical certificate that should indicate the medicines I took, dosage, and the duration. I will need to bring it when I come back for my x-ray results.

Thanks so much as another 2 months will definitely hit our schedule and I am really hoping to fly to the CA on December during my boyfriend's winter school break - which should give us more time to get married.
