Default new member -sharing positive thymectomy experience & having questions for next steps

i had a thymectomy before 4 weeks and i am really getting better everyday....
i want to share with all of you, especially with women, my choice of having a cosmetic procedure done : a "submammary incision with skin flaps" (a scar hidden under my breasts)...it was really a great choice as it preserves the upper chest skin free of scars ....and it doesn't show at all!!! i believe that this helps to forget....as you don't see it everytime you are facing a mirror.

i took out an enlarged thymus and now my neuro suggested me to add to my mestinon treatment a antidepressant drug (Zoloft / sentraline hydrochloride), in order to help myself getting stronger! he claimed.... has anybody had a similar recommendation?

nice meeting you
P.S Sorry for any :mistakes in my english.. i know it is not always perfect..
