Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern.
Fibrohazed opacities are seen in old infection that is probably.healed like TB or pneumonia.
You had been diagnosed and were on treatment for TB and , the current xray suggests that your affected lung portion is healing by fibrosis.
Hope this information helps.
Wish you good health
