Thank you moonboy for responding to me and God truly has other plans for you to be doing so well after such a horrific experience.

I appreciate your advice. While the thoracic surgeon I went to seems to be well qualified, the Cleveland Clinic is the closest to me. I will do my research for the best surgeon who has the most experience. I worked in healthcare over 30 years. It is the surgeon but the team is important too.

I agree, a planned surgery is better than an emergency. I have been lying in bed thinking, if this thing is growing, I have about 6 months. If I schedule the surgery and things don’t go well , that is all the time I have left or do I wing it and let fate take over. I have some contemplating to do. I’m sure I will speak to the doctor soon once he sees the results of the scan. Of course, the breast cancer meds have an effect on your heart, so the deck is somewhat stacked. Although, if I did not have BC, I would not known about the aneurysm, so that is a sign for me to take the steps to be aware and maybe the sign God wants me to have the surgery or to get things in order. Interestingly, when I was diagnosed with BC, an oncologist said so you won’t die of BC, so what if you die of a heart problem. We all have to go sometime. I just wasn’t planning so soon.

Again, thank you for your response and advice and wish you continued health.
