Thymus gland growth

Hi, 

Not really sure what to say except that I was recently told that the doctors found a 13cm growth on my thymus gland after a CT scan because they thought I had lymphoma but I just have an extra lobe and they found the growth (tumor) by accident and Google has not been my friend. Essentially what I've gleamed from my searches is that it's most likely cancer and apparently it's rare. I have an appointment with the MDT tomorrow afternoon and to be frank I'm bricking it a lot, it's the unknown.

  • Welcome daddydaycare although I'm sorry for the reason you are posting.

    I noticed you haven't had a reply yet so I thought I'd quickly stop by to see how you got on the other day.

    The unknown is always scary and Google, as you've found out, does not help with this but I hope your appointment went well and that you're a step closer to knowing what is going on. I'll have my fingers crossed it isn't anything sinister.

    Kind regards,
