Hi Kathie - I was diagnosed at 50 and had my thymectomy at 55. My scans did not show any thymic tumors or any other problems. However, I had to have a biopsy of lymph nodes in my chest for another issue, so I insisted they do a thymectomy. My neuro at the time agreed with me and they actually found a Stage II malignant tumor in my thymus for which I had 28 radiation treatments. I did not go into remission, but I did work for 5 more years before I had a bad mg relapse that finally required me to retire on disability.

So the moral of my story is that no doctor is always right and if you feel in your gut that you need more aggressive treatment, you do need to find another doctor. I don't know that remission is around the corner for you, but you definitely have a right to live as full a life as possible.
