Hello @dinahk,

I would like to join Colleen, @colleenyoung, in welcoming you to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can understand that you are interested in learning more about the thymus and an upcoming MRI. Has your MRI been scheduled yet?

Whenever there is a history of cancer it is always worrisome to start looking at something else. I understand that completely. How long ago was your breast cancer treatment?

Thank you. The double mastectomy was in 2015. My mri is on Tuesday and I guess is more sophisticated than the regular ones I’ve had. Somehow even though I’m a calm person this worry about recurrence or a new cancer is always there in the back of my mind. I also had extensive neck radiation after a giant cell tumor removal 66 years ago when I was 5. Maybe even after all these years it’s playing a factor. We’ll see. Feeling a bit anxious. Thank you for your help and information.
