Re: hospitals
Mate, not trying to sound callous, but I'm pleased to hear that's all it is. I'm saying that from the POV of currently having and being treated for TB myself here in Kampot, after being told in Australia it was most likely lung cancer. Believe me the TB diagnosis was a load off my mind as lung cancer was a death sentence for me basically and TB is easily and cheaply treatable, particularly over here. Most important thing is to take the meds EVERY day without fail at around the same time, he's on them for a minimum of 6 months btw. They are very toxic to your liver and kidneys, so he needs to get a blood test once a month for liver and kidney function (they test for creatine manufacture mainly).Also needs a monthly sputum test to tell him what his bacteria count is.
I'm sure his Doctor has told him all this anyway.
Don't know if he's a smoker, but I have drastically cut my ciggie intake back, from 3 packs a day to about 1/2 a pack. Still to many but... fukn nicotine. Don't know if he's a drinker, but for the sake of his liver and kidneys, if he doesn't want to give up, suggest he does what I do now and drink 1/2 and 1/2 beer and soda water. My last L&K test showed no problem. If it shows impaired function I will think about giving up for 6 months. Yes, all advice is to give both up completely, but ....well....
Good luck and best wishes to him. Its NOT a death sentence now days and it doesn't have to have a drastic impact on your life, provided he takes his fukn meds EVERY SINGLE DAY without fail.

Re: hospitals
20 years in the mil entitles him to free housing and meals on US bases, and flights free on military transport.
I am sure he would get free medical treatment on any US base.
Maybe closest in Okinawa?
He would know that though.
They get a pretty decent pension too.

Well at-least the water bit is good for you, but I would suggest you do what I do and cut out the beer and soda.

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: hospitals
Can't disagree with your comment mate. But so far my kidneys and liver haven't been affected. So, I will just wait and see if its necessary. Research seems to show that the main problem with heavy drinking when taking the meds (any meds for that matter) is people get so drunk they actually regularly forget to take them. That isn't a problem for me.

It was first covered in this thread by me...and then some other guy. But worthy of a third mention I guess:

It might be worth contacting the Department of Veterans Affairs with his info. As a retired veteran he may be entitled to some amenities in this case.

The US embassy in Cambodia should have pointed him in that direction - but thats about all they can do in the situation.
