How often do you get scans when there are no significant changes?

Hi All
I was diagnosed around 5 years ago with an aortic aneurysm.
It has been stable at 4.1
It increased this year to 4.2
I don’t think there is anything to do but monitor it with the CT.
I am not acutely concerned but I worry what life will be in the next 10 years when I turn 75 yo
Not fun.
This prompted me to join.
Wishing you all good things.

Hi Brenda,
From what I've read .1 is not considered "growth" and could just be slight differences in where measurements are taken, but best to get your team's opinion on that. Its really good that you're monitored and that you have been stable. In many cases these things stay pretty stable or grow very very slowly. At 65 years old and considering yours is on the smaller side, with appropriate management of risk factors you can very likely never need treatment! Wishing you good health!
