Hi Cecelia, 

I just wanted to stop by and wish you good luck for your appointment with the thoracic surgeon today and let you know we'll be thinking of you.

I also wanted to put you in touch with [@Terrie]‍ and [@Icha12]‍ as they have either been diagnosed with thymoma or have a family member that has so now you can chat to each other about how you're feeling and what you're going through as it's always nice to know you're not alone on this journey.

Kind regards,

Hi

i have been searching on this site and wondered if you were still looking at emails, I presume you have had your surgery and hope all is well

i was operated on in August this year and I am getting immense pain both from the chest and shoulders and some backache

my diagnose was a mass in sternum area, which turned out to be in their words teratoma/stymoma in mediastinal fortunately mine was benign

can you tell me how you went on and what treatment if any you had and how long did you get over your operation

thank you for reading
