thymic rebound???

Hello friends,
Well, my CT scan looks good...the nodule that's been there is still stable! Yay!!! The report mentions "thymic rebound" as a result of being treated with chemotherapy. Anyone ever heard of this?? Apparently the thymus can atrophy during chemo and then rebound when chemo is over. Any thoughts?
