Hey guys!

Hope the holidays were happy and as healthy as possible for everyone!

I have come to the conclusion that MG can be just as aptly nicknamed the "RollerCoaster Disease" in addition to the snowflake nom de plume.....

So what advice can you share: I see have a consult with the thoracic surgeon on Tuesday after seeing the Neuro yesterday: CT scan came back with a 2cm by 2cm mass, mass stranding of soft tissue consistent with hyperplasia.... but the scary part at the bottom of the report: differential includes lymphoma or thymic malignancy .... and the HMO has never been this fast to approve consult or referal for anything (total elapsed time from results sent to Neuro- HIS call to me to come in to see him / to confirmation of referal to surgeon and resulting appointment-6 hours). Neuro and I discussed thymectomy and family hx - gram had breast CA that was dx when axillary lymph node swelled up / mom dx with lung CA when mass found in carina and surrounding nodes on routine chest x-ray required for her job (had to take xrays rather than TB test despite never having had TB...) / little brother (a whole 26 years old) just dx with stage IV Hodgkins after a node on his neck swelled up overnight and almost choked him to death- he's going thru a hellious round of chemo.... Needless to say I'm just a bit worried.... don't know exactly what to expect from the surgery, don't know even what to ask the surgeon.... sitting here sort of in a daze....and it ain't the MG acting up any more than usual (or at least I don't think it is)
