Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in depth , I can understand your feelings for your mother .
* She is in advanced stage of the disease , as it must be now drug
resistant TB by now with multiple relapses .
* You have to accept the condition and give her symptomatic supportive
treatment as per the narrations , she is not going to be cured totally
from this stage of the systemic illness .
Wishing her fine health ahead .
