I want to share something personal with you all, as many of you are not just patients but people I’ve come to know and to care about over the years.
I have recently been diagnosed with Thymoma, rare tumour of the thymus gland. The news was unexpected as it was an incidental finding – I was complexly symptom free. The tumour is encapsulated and my prognosis is excellent. Its about the size of a grapefruit sitting between my heart and lungs.
I am working with the oncology and surgical team at Bendigo Health. We have decided to do 3 months of chemotherapy in an attempt to shrink the tumour to make the surgical removal of much safer. Once it’s removed, I will be back to 100%
At this time, I remain committed to my practice and plan to work when I am well enough. Please know that I appreciate your support, patience, and understanding more than I can express. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.
