My condolences to you.

What do you expect us to do? Say sorry and mourn about her? Of course, it's sad but it just happens sometimes. Does she have difficulty breathing or anything? Or maybe you could talk to a doctor about it. -Kait.

Your aunt could also have End Stage Renal Disease. Check around for specialists in that area... It is possible to only have TB; However, there is usually an underlying cause that would prevent her from responding to usual treatment. PLEASE consider getting a second/third opinion... especially about the ESRD - End Stage Renal Disease
