pinaynurse,we all know that we can't take 2 xray exams at the same month or year,we need to wait i think after 6 months before we can take another xray exam,so u need to take the sputum test.during my medical exam, i was so nervous as well,esp when i heard they are so strict about the xray results.one lady at the SLEC have the same prob as urs,then after waitinf for a couple of months she took her medications and went back to SLEC then her lungs was cleared.i took the advice from the other applicants met at SLEC,since i smoke,i drank bear brand milk an hour before my xray exam,i think it help me a lot.i understand ur frustrations pinaynurse.i know how it feels bec i waited a month for my visa to be released bec the USEM misplacedmy papers...so i advised u to be more patient and calm.... thanks for that donandfara!
Ganito po unang una positive po sya sa x-ray nya tapos nagpa sputum sya pero negative ang result. tapos nagpa check sya sa doctor ang sabi ng doctor na may sakit nga daw sya at kailangan nya mag treatment. Tapos naka 6 months na po sya sa treatment pero yong hitsura ng x-ray nya ay ganun pa rin..Habang malapit na ang 6 months sa treatment nya ay time na nya pumunta sa st lukes para magpa medical tapos ang ginawa ng st lukes ay pina sputum sya doon. tapos negative pa rin ang result, ang hinintay nalang namin ay yong culture nya kasi 2 months yon ma release.
