Lots of us have had thymectomies, myself included. We just don't mention it, as we realize after years of waiting, that the elusive remission just ain't happenin'. True remissions don't happen all that often and I think your hemo did you a disservice by saying you are going into remission. Based on what???? Antibody levels??? While I hope it's TRUE (wouldn't THAT be cool!?), it's very very early to be throwing the word around so casually and doing so raises false hopes as MG is so very often a 3 steps forward, 2 back kind of deal. Enjoy the good times, keep out hope for the future but don't put all your hopes and dreams into the thymectomy (or any other treatment) basket.

Missy--who knows of only ONE person who has ever had true, drug free remission.
