Is It True That I Should Start Fixcom 3 After Fixcom 4 ?

Hi doctor ... I was diagnozed last June with Minimal PTB and was given FIXCOM 4 for 2 months... my medication ends Aug 5.. unfortunately I wasnt able to see my doctor not until today Aug 20... she said I should have come earlier because I will take FIXCOM 3 for 4 months... and that my first effort will go to waste because I did not take FIXCOM 3 immediately after FIXCOM 4... my x ray says there is a minimal decrease in the tuberculosis ...Is this true?
