Yes Wow it kind if floored me but know he means well and it's a well meaning message. I wonder what size his was before it ruptured considering he didn't know he had it..... I would hope both my cardiologist and T. surgeon would be experienced enough to have me hold off till now to retest and complete the two tests again to compare. They told me this is monitoring stage and suggested beta blockers for now. First CT with contrast was April 24, private echo followed by request of T surgeon so he had both to compare in May 25... I'm pretty unnerved now tbh.... Just the stark reality if whole situation.. I've started walking, drinking more water and trying to meditate to reduce stress but can't think of anything else at the moment now particularly after reading the last messages 🙈... I am in Ireland too, not the US.
