I have been trying to find out about ectopic thymus and how it can grow back this is my problem....I had been going to the gym and running on the treadmill when I started having chest pain. When I checked my heart rate it was real high even when I tried to walk slow it was at 203 so my friends convinced me to go to hosp to make a long boring story short they found a mass in my neck they thought it was my thyroid. So I get referred to specialist and he did another cat scan and said the same thing at this point the mass was 3cm we scheduled surgery for two months later because I was getting married. When the Dr open me up to do thyroid surgery he got a big shock when he found this big mass which was now 5cm and pushing on my heart he was able to remove it threw the incision he made on my neck and told my husband and I that we were lucky because usually they have to crack your chest for this problem. Well it's been a year and 1 month since I had the surgery and its back. I went for follow up after having baby and Dr Thought it was thyroid again and sent me back to specialist he ordered an ultra sound of my neck and I have a 4cm egg like mass pushing on my wind pipe. The specialist told me he doesn’t want to do the surgery on me and is sending me to Birmingham to another Dr. Has anyone else heard of this growing so fast and is there another way for them to remove this I've had my fair share of surgeries and I feel like I'm playing Russian roulette by having another one.
Thanks for listing and sorry for the long story
