Hi,
No, unfortunately I haven't learned anything new. My Dr. is still convinced that my "thymic mass" is just extra thymic tissue. He said that he believes my thymus never shrunk down like it should have when I was younger. I'm still concerned because the radiology report clearly stated that this mass could possibly be localy invasive. My Dr. said they put all the differential diagnosises in there to "cover their butts", but I don't think they would have included that in the report if they didn't think it was possibly malignant.
If you don't mind me asking, what types of symptoms did you have before you had your thymus removed? Do you still have these symptoms? I can't imagine going through that type of surgery!
I've had ongoing shortness of breath, chest pressure, tachycardia, and other symptoms for over a year now. I also have a couple swollen lymph nodes in my neck, but my GP seems to be sure they're reactive. My last chest CT was done in June 03, so I'm assuming that if this "mass" was anything too serious I wouldn't still be here. But, I can't help not to worry about it because of my symptoms.
