Hi, my name is Mary and I have been diagnosed with a celiac aneurysm with mesenteric haziness found during a colonoscopy.
The aneurysm is 1.3 cm. I have to wonder if the number that is used for determining an operation is based on males. I'm 5'4", whereas my husband is 6'3". Why would we use the same size of aneurysm to determine time for an operation? No one in SW Florida is experienced in this rare condition. If I went to the Mayo in Jackson, who would I go to? Any recommendations? I am frightened and feel like I've got a ticking time bomb inside me. 😳
Thanks for your story. I also was diagnosed 2 years ago and worked nights as a correctional officer for several years. I'm 47 and female. My aneurism was embolized but I still have that fear of rupture everyday. ☹☹
