Brief Answer:
In most of the cases there is no recurrence.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for sharing the information and posting the query.

I do not think there should be a problem in future. Normally when one takes the full course of anti tuberculous drugs as per advise, the disease is almost always cured.

Once cured I do not see any possibility of recurrence.

The treatment what is being given to you till date seems to be fine.

Take good diet along with medications.

Again your symptoms must have been improved,which indicates you are improving.

After completion of course,please go for follow up with the doctor who has performed the surgery and other investigations,he will do necessary tests to see that things are fine and you are cured.

I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health and speedy recovery.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
