Thymic Carcinoma stage ii a and Microadenoma in Pituitary Gland
1 week 6 days ago

Hi,

I was diagnosed with Thymoma in November 2011. This was incidental as i had my gallbladder removed in September 2011 and was having difficulty breathing.

Thankfully my Dr had a chest xray done which showed "something" in my heart.

I was then referred to a Cardiologist and after further investigation it was shown that it was a thymoma and had nothing to do with my heart (thank goodness). I was then sent for a biopsy which came back as benign (another phew).
