Anyone out there with a thymoma diagnosis? Need to chat

I came on this site a few seeks ago ,newly diagnosed with a thymoma.I know its a rare cancer but there must be someone on here who wants a friendly chat.Im 65 years old and was diagnosed last July but only just starting treatment in the next few weeks.Its been a really worrying time having no one to talk to.My thymoma is 7.4x6.6x4.3 cm.I have to have it removed but don't know if it will be robotic or a sternotomy.my mind is all over the place.If someone has come through the other side and can talk about it I would really like to know what to expect from a patients perspective.please post on here I promise I'm friendly.

  • Hi Noodles,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. My reply here will boost your post so a few more people should see it, and hopefully you'll receive further replies before long. If you haven't already, you can also search the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) for other relevant discussions on here.

    This forum is a safe space to reach out to others and to write things down, so I hope that it can be useful for you.

    I also hope that things go well with the start of your treatment.

    Wishing you all the best,
