lump can take almost 6 months to regress, as it already has started showing reduction in size.but in some patients it can remain for long also. treatment outcome is basically measured with clinical recovery and weight gain and general well being.
finish the course.
take care!

Lymph node size regress with ATT in initial 2-3 weeks but during treatment the size can increase, may remain sam, new lymph node may appear but all the issue are solved at the completion of treatment . in some patient residual lymph nodes may remain even after treatment ..
So donot worry ..it will reduce
