I have an appointment this Wednesday with a surgeon to discuss possible thymectomy.

He is a cardio thoracic surgeon and the director of the robotics program at one of our local hospitals and I am hoping he can do it this way.

My CT scan report says: "4cm anterior mediastinal soft tissue mass. The differential includes thymoma and lymphoma."

What kind of questions should I be asking him? I've read on some threads the word hyperplastic in reference to thymoma. What's that?

I was diagnosed with MG in July 09 and currently it is just ocular. My neuro started me out on prednisone and mestinon, but now I am just taking mestinon (30mg X 3) which is controlling the double vision and eyelid droop.

Thanks in advance.
