*Update* Another test has come back, looking specifically for TB bacteria in my bronchial passages. None found. Test negative. So far it seems every test keeps saying I am Inactive where TB is concerned.

Results are in... NO ACTIVE TB bacteria in my lungs in the area they tested. That means the lesion is the only possible place for there to be TB... unless that lesion isn't TB at all and is in fact a tumor. This of course rules out active TB and means that I am Latent IF (BIG IF) I am understanding the results correctly..
*dances*
