    1. Hi there i had my thymus gland along with a thymoma removed in april 2021 and have been in remission ever since with no symptoms at all. I still take mestinon and mycophenolate and have just returned from lanzarote where the temp was 30 degrees which didnt bother me at all. I am now 82 and still hit the gym four times a week.
