Hi,Albert JOhn,
Thanks for query,
i think you mean that you are having pulmonary tb with cavitation.
Nothing to worry,Itis completely curable disease.
Take complete course of anti TB medicines for 6-9 months and you will be perfectly alright.
Quit smoking,this is first and foremost thing you have to do.
Take high protein and nourishing diet.
Ok and bye.
