This new Davinci method sounds good so I'm going to do some research on it.


Not sure where you are in GA but my dr just referred me to Dr. William Mayfield in Marietta since he does the thymus removal laproscopically with only two small incisions and no full chest surgery. I got diagnosed with M/G this summer also. Good luck. I am personally going to try to get them to repeat a scan in a few months and re-evaluate since my symptoms aren't really that severe as of yet and it is only slightly bigger than should be.
