I had a thymectomy in 1976 at 16 yo. My ct scan showed a tumor in my chest that the doctors recommend removing. I was one of the first people diagnosed with MG using the tension test. The recovery process is long, but with God you will get through it.

I am now 58 and still on mestizos and prednisone. My f/u's with neurology are about every six months and I still get regular ct scans to make sure the tumor hasn't returned because it is a possibility. My scar from the thymectomy is from the breastbone down to above my stomach, not very attractive but I've had it so long that it's become a part of me.

All my prayers are with you.
