    And thank you for expressing your appreciation so effusively! Although I'm not exactly delighted to learn that surgery is in your future, I'm thrilled that you have answers that had previously eluded you and medical professionals. You've reminded me how amazingly complex our bodies are, as well as how each of us has a unique physical system that takes very specific consideration to manage properly. Count me among the many in this forum who wish you the best for successful surgery and a more healthful future! —Bill

    I am so glad that this group has been helpful. I ALWAYS tell providers about radiation exposure to my thymus. Most recently at my diagnostic mammogram. I am not sure they even register how it might be related to future issues. That being said, I am wishing you a successful surgery.
