I have mai and colorectal cancer.. can i spread mia and do i need treatment? my sister tested positive for tb, did i give her this through my mia?

Complicated: I assume you mean mycobacterium avium intracellulare. It is not likely that you will spread this, but knowing how it was isolated and what disease (if any) it is causing would be helpful in answering you. It has not caused TB in your sister. It has nothing to do with colorectal cancer, except that your treatment may leave you immune suppressed and susceptible to disease by this organism.
