I heard that you could catch tuberculosis from consuming the milk product of an infected cow. How true is that? Is it possible enough that I should consider going back to being vegan?

As far as i know, you cannot.. Tubecol bacilli bacteria is suspended vapor/airborne,, besides few animal diseases can be contracted by humans with adverse effects and after pasteurization and all that, no bacteria will survive unless you buy/drink unpasteurized/raw milk
2 :
And dairy farmers will generally if not always take a sick cow out of the milking chain until there healthy, and if they allow one sick cow to be milked it would affect the entire system, as it would taint the milk to be shipped, and once it arrives at the dairy processing plant, it is tested before pasteurization, and it is only heated to 100-115 degrees to purify the milk before separating form processing.

i didn't think it was possible so went into google under 'bovine tu...' and discovered that in the past is was quite possible however in this day and age with pasteurization it is not possible therefore consuming milk is okay however if you want to go back to being a vegan don't do it for this reason but because you want to
