Newly diagnosed with 3.9cm ascending aorta

In 2018, I was told that I had a 4.2. Then, a month later, was told I didn't have one. They said it was "overread." Fast forward, had a CT on unrelated issue. They found a 4.2 aneurysm. I've had it for six years, hasn't grown. Doctor said keep doing what I'm doing! They will monitor it yearly. We just need to live life, be thankful and enjoy each day! They don't always grow!!!

Thanks, yeah bluebird, I agree. Mine is holding steady for some years now. I will be getting the annual check of it next month (August). Wish me luck that it hasn't grown. I already had open heart surgery once (septal myectomy) in 2019 and will not go through that horror again! HOCM was bad enough but then finding out I had a fxxxing aneurism, jesus. I mean give me a break. Is this how life goes? Peace:)
