can you connect the fault in our stars to tuberculosis?
Sure. The name of the band Hazel likes is The Hectic Glow, which comes from a line in Henry David Thoreau's journals: "Decay and disease are often beautiful, like the pearly tear of the shellfish or the hectic glow of consumption."
(Consumption was the common term for TB until the late 19th century.)
One of the ideas that fascinated me when I was writing tfios was the way that cancer--in its seeming randomness, unfairness, unpredictable course, and romanticization--mirrored early 19th century conceptions of TB.
(I did not yet know that TB is a huge, ongoing crisis. So I had no way of knowing I would end up obsessed with/writing nonfiction about tuberculosis. But I guess the seed was there!)
