I have read that thymectomy can be curative even in the absence of a tumor, especially in young people. It can, however, take a couple of years to work. I think that it takes that long for all the defective immune cells to die off.

It sucks to be so young and have this stuff. I am 56 years old and it sucks. It sucks worse if you are young. Your chances of improving from your surgery are much better than mine would be if I had the same surgery.

This is a good place to learn stuff and to talk.
