Ascending Aortic Aneurism

Hello all
I went in this week for annual CT scan and the aneurism is 5.2cm. the Dr told me due to having shortness of breath and chest pains as well as a leaking Aortic valve that I don't have to wait for 5.5 cm to get it repaired. He's ordered a ultrasound to see if the leaking valve has gotten worse since a year ago and told us to come back in a month and then we can discuss going forward. The leaking valve a year ago was described as Mild to Moderate so he wants to see if it is still Mild to moderate. But he said even if it is that it's my choice to go ahead with surgery. I'm pretty much ready to go ahead and have the surgery in the next few months. I figure I'm 65 and if I can get it taken care of I may as well.
