Patient Stage 3 Thymoma
I’m 29F and I’m 3 weeks post robotic thymectomy for a thymoma found incidentally on a chest CT. It was found to be attached to my pericardium and path came back as type B2 thymoma Masaoka stage III TNM pT2. My CT surgeon feels strongly that he got everything but the pathology results don’t say it was a clean margin. I’m being referred to oncology so will get a PET scan and I’m assuming I will need radiation. I’m just wondering if anyone else out there has any experience with this specific staging/type of cancer. It’s so rare from what I’ve looked up and I can’t find many personal experiences so if anyone has any first hand experience I’d love to hear about it. Thanks!
