Hi Alison,

Thanks for letting us know how your hubby is doing...I was a bit worried when he didn't update after the surgery...

I also have similar problems to him and Tyson...Also had a thymoma, had surgery in July, and seemed to get worse after...More prominent tongue weakness and chronic nasal speech...Had to go back to the hospital a couple of times afterward, also got PLEX about 3-times since then...

I'm currently tapering off prednisone which was started after I had a bad relapse in sx after the surgery...

Btw, I also had a hyperplastic thymus along with the thymoma...This is unusual, apparently, and my neurologist says that it's promising in terms of ever having a drug-free remission...Do you happen to know what type of thymoma he had? Mine was an AB type....

Anyway, I'm very glad that you let us know how he's doing....I hope he gets better soon!

Nicky
