So I’m a 21 year old female who became a mum 9 months ago. 

A month after birth I experienced stomach pains and from then it’s been a horrible 8 months. I was anemic, my neutrophils were next to nothing, I developed gallstones, diagnosed with coeliac disease and just by the odd chance the woman who wanted to conduct surgery on my gallstones ask for a CT they found a mass. 

When i seen the consulant he said said it was my adenoids and they would need to be removed, a week later I received a letter to see the lung consulant and a further phone call to see the consultant who referred me for the scan. They both said it was nothing, just a precaution and it probably wouldn’t mount to anything. I then received a letter about a possible thymoma or lymphona. 

I then was scheduled to see the thoracic surgeon who has told me, looking at the mass, it’s likely to be thymoma but they cannot rule out lymphoma. I have to have a PET scan tomorrow and surgery is already booked for 2 weeks time. They made the decision to just remove and then do a biopsy because if it is thymoma they have removed the problem and I’ve already received the treatment they said. If it’s lymphoma i will need chemotherapy. I’m having a VATS procedure.

im scared, I’m nervous, I’m very young. What are the chances everything will be okay? And it could be neither of them? Thymoma isn’t really talked about much. 

Sorry for the big long health history but it’s been a hectic 9 months and it feels good to get it off my chest and talk to others who may be experiencing similar things?

thank you for anybody whose taking their time to respond
