Hi Lara, thank you for your reply. Everything I have read has indicated the same… I am hoping that mine is stable these last couple years and will stay that way. I do plan on seeing my cardiologist within the next month or so and seeing if I can get some genetic testing and also asking to get an ultrasound on my abdomen to look for anything there since this was found on a lung ct scan. I know that people sometimes have aneurysms on the abdominal portion of the aorta as well. I worry about that. How are you doing with your current situation? I remember reading that you’ve been monitoring yours for awhile and you were getting closer to the point that yours needed to be addressed surgically. I know that surgery is a daunting event to go through but when I read about those who have had the surgery they are all very happy to have it behind them. Wishing you good health!
