When I diagnosed last year, I was against having thymus surgery! But, my neurologist was adamant about having it removed. He said it wasn't doing my body any good and my acetylcholine receptor count was very high. He said I would probably have the trans-sternal or trans-cervical approach. I decided I wasn't helping my body by waiting for surgery.

I kept looking for a robotic surgeon and finally found a highly recommended doctor in Houston. He said I was a good candidate for robotic surgery. I had the surgery last month and am doing very well. I was discharged the day after surgery and the 3 small scars on my right side are already fading. I would highly recommend looking into robotic surgery!! Less stress on your body and faster healing. I have more energy now and actually feel like doing home improvement projects that I haven't been able to do for years. Surgery doesn't help everyone, but my chances were 80% that I would improve.

My neuro wasn't too familiar with robotics, so I had to do the research.

Good luck!
