Hello, thanks for using Healthcaremagic. i had gone through the dtails you have posted.
tuberculosis commonly infects lungs. it produces pneumonia if not treated at this stage it prodeuces cavitation and then heals by fibrosis.
if fibrocavity or fibrosis is establisted it wont go off totally.
so whether you have this fibrosis or not we need to have a look at your chest x ray.
though fibrosis is seen on chest x ray you will be cured for tuberculosis...
Hope this helps..
