Hello all, new poster/reader here. My fiancee has MG (she was diagnosed about three years ago); in the three months we've really been together I've seen her go into two excacberations (second one is going on now) and have been doing a lot of research on MG and treatment options. I'm very interested in the Transcervical Thymectomy and was wondering if anyone here has had it and can offer some firsthand accounts. I'm trying to get her to look into it but she has no interest in another scar on her boday (she has scars from feeding tubes from her worst MG crisis), other medical and non-medical scars. The info I've read says the surgery averages about 104 minutes with a post-op stay of a little over one day. Is this accurate? How is the pain/recovery period, the scar (her worry) and most importantly, the symptom relief (better Osserman scores) and/or remission?

Thank you all for any info you can provide.

ps. She's 40, 41 in a week.
