My diagnoses of Myasthenia Gravis centered around a Thymoma, tumor of the Thymus Gland.
The
thymus gland, which lies in the chest area beneath the breastbone,
plays an important role in the development of the immune system in early
life. Its cells form a part of the body's normal immune system. The
gland is somewhat large in infants, grows gradually until puberty, and
then gets smaller and is replaced by fat with age. In adults with myasthenia gravis, the thymus gland remains large and is abnormal.
Well let me get back to the good news. Thymoma have been known to grow back. ( I do not anticipate my will.) Just had a CT of the Chest> And the results are no Thymoma. Yippee!
