What a lucky dolphin you are. Yes, the thymus needs to come out when the CT shows a problem. With just ptosis, you would have easily fit in the grade I or II that have the best result from thymectomy. Hope the remission continues--FOREVER!

On the flip side, there is a veterinarian in the town where I live who was diagnosed with Stage III thymus cancer about 8 years ago. His thymus was so enlarged it was impairing his breathing and was removed under emergency conditions. Oddly enough, he had no MG symptoms, nor has he ever developed them.
