I’m sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. I hope all goes well for you with that. You bring up a great point about worrying about one thing just bc you know and then it could be something else that comes up that presents a threat. I’ll try to keep that in mind. Do you mind if I ask how old you were when you first found out about the aneurysm and what size it was at discovery. I’m 52 female and just found a 3.9 cm ascending aorta. No idea how long I’ve had it… only other test was an echocardiogram that measured it at 3.74 cm and no doctor even mentioned it to me at all. Just read it going through my old records. Thanks for your reply and wishing you good health!

In 2010 I was 61 years old. It was closer to 4 cm than to 5 cm.
