Hi. My mid is abit all over the place at the mo. FIL been ill for quite some time now. Today he went to have a camera down his throat and into lungs.

He has to wait for results but they suspect it's TB. I know nothing about this so hoping someone will be able to help me further to understand this before I start researching on net.

Luckily me DD's, aged 6yrs and 2 yrs have just had their TB jabs.

Don't know very much about it - but my gran had this many many years ago and made a good recovery after spending some time in hospital while they found drugs that worked. From the relatively little I know, recovery does seem to involved taking shedloads of antibiotic and other medication. hope that your FIL feels better soon.
