I had a thymectomy, but I had a growth.

I do know that at least 2 men in our local MG support group had a thymectomy eventhough there was no irregularity with their thymus.

Their neuros advised them there was a possibility of remission or less severe symptoms if they had their thymus removed. Both pondered their decision for a long time, but in the end the possibility (even slight) that it might help their symptoms won out.

What does your neuro say?
