Good idea. In fact, that's exactly what I did. What, if I may ask, is your situation?

Sure. I’m an Aussie from down under! 65yo male 210lbs, 6’3”. I was diagnosed in June 24 as having an ascending aneurysm of 4.4cm. Was told it was low to moderate dilation - General Cardio said he would have called me back in 2 years, but as it was my first reading, he wants me back in 12 months to establish a baseline trend of growth rate (if any). My panic mode would have me back in 6 months!! It’s been a depressing episode 🥹 Anyway he upped my bp med - I’m also on a low dose statin and I take a bunch of supplements and my diet is a keto style. Between mid 2021 to current I lost 40 odd lbs to a more normal weight. Also I recently gave up the corporate job and doing Aged Care work which has been less stressful and more rewarding. It’s currently winter here in Melbourne AU so fighting the cold to get my daily walks in ! The best of luck to you and your other half on this odyssey.
