Good afternoon!
I had my trans sternal thymectomy 4+ years ago. I was admitted December 15th and had 3 plasmapheresis treatments before my surgery on December 20th. (15th, 17th, and 19th). Mine was administered through a femoral catheter that was removed shortly after my last treatment on the 19th. I was told that the reason for the plasmapheresis treatment was to give the immune system an extra boost before the surgery.

Do you have a surgery date yet? Which surgery are you having?
