Have been monitored for 56 years! Have been at 4.7-4.8 for at least the last 10! Next echocardiogram is next week so will let you if we are still monitoring, but my guess is yes!!

Wow! That is truly incredible. I am so happy that you have been stable long term and hope that remains the case! I have heard that a lot of times they do not progress and that a large number of patients that undergo long term surveillance never reach the size that warrants intervention. This gives me great hope as well as hearing actual experiences of others like you who have remained stable. Please do post an update if you can. Wishing you very good health!
