Hello! Thanks for telling your story. I hope all is well. My aneurism was embolized in 2016. I am still worried it can reoccur. My stress is constant. I'm in my 40s. I was always active but now I'm scared of doing any activity to my abdominal area. My doctor sees me once a year but she too has no experience with the diagnosis. I take it day by day but once I feel pain on my right side I'm reminded of it.

I am worried alot too. The first one was dissecting and immediate surgery. This time by the time I see the surgeon it will have been 3 weeks. I am told that is fast. I agree with you that when your stomach hurts you worry. My stomach has hurt since before the first diagnosis and now that i have a second one (which i was told i would be good and never have to worry about it again!) I am so worried. So stressed over it. I dont know whether to wish for surgery (where recovery was so terrible that I told people if I had to do it again...I probably wouldn't have surgery!!) Or to wish for the wait and see approach 'where I will live in constant worry as to be active or not. I was 46 when I had my first one and now I am 55 which might make it more risky for me.

I am sorry that you are so young and have to deal with this.
