NewMG,

Welcome to the best site for information and support.

Now many here know a lot more than I do so I will share "my" expierience. I was DXed back in 1991 and had no thymoma but my thymus was "spread out" throughout my chest, I had surgery through my neck and chest at the same time so that I had the best chance of removing all of the thymus. I ended up in a drug free remisssion for 17 years, so for me it was well worth it. There was no cancer found. Today my MG is back but no where as bad as it was in 1991 and to have been able to live 17 years MG free, was so worth the pain of the surgery.

It is a very scary event in your life and you must think hard as to what is best for you. I felt I had no choice at the time because I had two children to raise. So what is going on in your life is also a factor in what you decide.
