As long as it is early recognized and properly treated it should not be a big thing (not to disregard the new treatment resistant varieties but they are still uncommon). I was in a high risk area for a couple of years and they make me take the annual test, no big deal. TB is found in India. In the villages the quacks treat the symptoms until it is hopeless and then pack off their victims to a Govt. TB hospital. I seem to end up visiting such. Your situation is so much better even if it is confirmed. Cheers and good faith,,
