Anyone out there with Thymoma/Thymic Carcinoma

I had very much the same concern as my thymoma was discovered during heart valve replacement surgery. I was able to get proton radiation treatment that minimized that risk. Insist on proton if it available anywhere near you.

Thank you, Andy for your reply! After doing much more research this weekend, I agree about trying to get the Proton therapy instead of just radiation. My dilemma is that I live in Southern Oregon and will need to travel and stay in Seattle or the L.A. area for the course of treatment. How have you been doing since your surgery and Proton treatment? How long ago was your surgery to remove the Thymoma? Thank you again!
