Default Thymic regrowth after thymectomy

Hey

i don't have MG, but I have a rare and severe digestive disease and immunological problems. One year ago, a missvely enlarged thymic gland was detected by routine chest MRI. Since the radiologists could not figure out whether or not the thymic mass was a thymoma. i fnally had surgery with a median sternotomy in April 2012. One month ago some of t he symptoms which I had had prior to surgery and had subsided afterwards were back. i now have again a feeling of intense pressure on my chest and more strainful breathing. BTW: the thymic mass proved to be thymic B cell hyperplasia, but the gland had grown so large that breathing was impaired.
My question: has someone here experienced thymic regrowth after thymectomy?
Thanks

Sarah
