Hello po, I don't know if this is the right thread to ask pero baka lang po may same situation sa amin na granted na. I just would like to ask what you did po or how did you cope up with the situation.
To give context, we had our medicals last March. I'm the primary applicant and I got cleared and my son. However, my wife needed to have additional tests(sputum) because there was an opacity in her xray. Since we were so worried, we consulted our Pulmo. When she went for the pulmo checkup, she mentioned our case(AU migration etc) and the Pulmo gave her TB medicines. The Pulmo said, I'm giving you TB medication just to please the AU embassy. I don't know why the Pulmo said that but maybe he had patients dati na same situation. He also asked for sputum test but he said the result from st lukes should suffice.
Now, before the sputum test in St. Lukes Ermita, we found out she's 5 weeks pregnant. The Day after her sputum test, the Panel Doctor told her that she's negative sa smear test. But it might be negative because nag-take na siya ng medications. Now, St Lukes gave her an option to take/continue the TB medications sa kanila or sa Pulmo namin. Now if sa Pulmo namin, it will take a year daw to finish and submit the clearance to DHA. If kay St Lukes, around 9 months daw since pregnant siya. Pero may catch, kelangan daw araw-araw pumunta sa St Lukes Ermita para dun itake un TB medication. So ang worry namin ngayon is #1 Yung effect ng medications sa Baby #2 Yung repeat medicals kami kasi baka abutan ng medications nya un expiration date and #3 Madedelay yung processing ng visa application namin.
Again po, baka meron po same situation dito na na-grant and maybe can you share you experiences po during the process. Thank you
