After Your Thymectomy, How Long Did Your Residual Pain Last? My Ribs Still Bruised/tender And My Left Breast Still Gets Tingling Or Pain.

Would Like Some Feedback On People’s Experiences With A Thymectomy.
I’m having my thymus removed because I have a thymoma. I’m really nervous about it and would just like to hear some hopefully good things.
