What Does Scar On Lung Found On X-ray Means?

hi, one of my friend had TB 12 years back. Cured & never had a problem after that. Now for some visa issue she got her X-ray done & they found a scar on the lung. All the other test are clear like suptum , blood etc. Doctors say that its just a scar left buz of TB 12 years back. Is there anyway that could go away ?..thanks
