I was recently diagnosed with 3. I had emergency surgery in February to fix the 7.9 abdominal AA that was starting to rupture. I have a 6.0 Ascending AA which will be discussed in September after I’m healed up from the first surgery. No genetic history. Not sure why it happened. 51, athletic, and was never smoked. I try to keep my BP dow, walk 10k steps, and eat right. All I can do in my control. I used to spend hours googling and as far as I can tell, there are no answers that are going to make this better for me. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone and I wish you and everyone on this support group all the best. Take Care and God Bless!
