Thank you Mr. Rajdrajpoot said:Agreed what you suggest if your doctor suggest you not to tell which means something is there and for sure during your medical doctor may got to know so don't worry take your report from your doctor and show that to CIC doctor as you said there is nothing serious than you are fine
By the way there is no medical test at the time of entering in Canada.
Always be honest with CIC if you really want that process go smoothly
Moreover if you will tell the CIC doctor about your medical issue he can not take credit as you declare that yourself but if you will hide it and he found that then Forsure he wil get credit I hope you understand what I mean

I was on duty all these days so I didn't find time to thank you and reply.
I am still confused. I will explain the reason. But I want to be specific and explain my problem and case in detail. The reason my doctor comes with his suggestion are based on these facts.
I don't have pulmonary TB or lung TB. I don't have a lung scar. My recent chest x ray and all previous ones never revealed any scars in the lungs. Lung TB was completely ruled out by my family physician.
I am sorry if I am explaining too much but for information, TB occurs in many different parts of the body. The way TB organism got into me should be like this. I was exposed to the organism, the organism entered my lungs, went into blood stream without causing anything like scar or symptoms (maybe my immunity fought it well). Since the organism is/was in the blood it can infect any part, as my body permits. So I got a lymph node TB. That's called TB lymphadenitis.
My doctors removed the node surgically and put me on a regular TB medication for 6 months as it is the protocol here (whatever kind of TB, medication and duration of treatment are pretty much the same).
Now it is my own physician who's treating me suggests that there is no need to mention about my current TB treatment during the medicals by CIC panel doctor. He is telling that the X ray that will be taken by CIC doctor will not show anything abnormal since I don't have lung scars. And moreover the TB that I have cannot spread. And I am finishing my medication in less than a week. He is telling that the immigration doctors' concern is mainly on active/latent pulmonary TB. My doctor suggests if I disclose my lymph node TB, I might have unnecessary trouble of proving to CIC panel doctor that I don't have a lung TB by having multiple referrals like pulmonologist opinion and further unnecessary sputum, blood tests and x rays and medical reports from various physicians. All these are expensive and time consuming (not covered by insurance, because I don't need them clinically according to my treating doctor). I will have to spend from my pocket. I know if necessary it is necessary. But I am confused and perplexed when my own doctor tells me with confidence 'that's okay, go for the test, no need to say anything about your current treatment!!'
What do you really think and say as this is my situation..?! Please try and imagine yourself in the same situation!?
