I was diagnosed in Dec and had my surgery in April. A thymoma was present, and I had a full median sternotomy. I also had a round of plasmapheresis immediately prior to the surgery. You have gotten good advice from others in prior posts, I would add that you should ask how closely your surgeon has worked/will be working with your neurologist. You certainly want them to have a good working relationship.
