I recently had a CT scan of thymus which showed hyperplasia of thymus and now have to go and get the MRI of chest done.

There is infiltrationfrom the thymus ??? into the area connecting the two lungs - which is probably why I have these crazy "gasping" attacks as if I have been drowning and now desperately need air.

I've done alot of researching and apparently, after a thymectomy it can take years before a person feels any real benefit. Most dont have much problems recovering from a thymectomy (much to my surprise)

So, I guess I will consent to have one done if it is even still a viable option due to the infiltration into other organs.
