Hello,
I've found a lot of comfort and learned a great deal from the stories here. I was wondering if you could suggest any oncologists in Southern California who know about thymoma. I'm 59 years old and I recently had two surgeries to deal with a thymoma. The first surgery was on June 15, 2023, because they thought it was a teratoma. But after more tests at the Mayo Clinic, they found out it's a specific kind called thymoma type B (60%) with Type B3 parts. Then, on July 24, I had another surgery where they removed the thymoma completely. This surgery took out the left phrenic nerve, a part of my lung, and the pericardium.

Since the tumor was taken out in two different surgeries, I'm told there might be a bit more risk, like the possibility of spreading. I haven't seen an oncologist yet. Because thymoma is rare, I'm asking if anyone knows of good doctors in Southern California who have experience with it. Your help means a lot to me.
