My friend was older when she had her surgery done and came through fine. It all depends on what the surgeons say. I also have one 4.4 but don’t feel a thing; so it’s always out of my mind until the end of year scans. Will pray for you for godly guidance and wise decision concerning yours.

I was mistaken; I do have three aneurysms. One 3.6 in my abdomen, not growing, they say don't worry about it. One ascending at 5.2 and the other is descending, and it has grown to 6.3. The surgeon at San Fransico wanted to do surgery at 5.5 but I wanted a second option, so I went to the gold standard clinic in Cleveland and that surgeon said that at my age the outcome is often not good. He said I should go play golf, hit tennis balls with my grandson, and just enjoy my life.
Well, I did and my aneurysm grew 8 mm in three months. So now I have pulled back on being active and I get another scan next month to see where I am. My cardiologist here in Chico said he gives me 6 months, maybe a year . I am totally at peace with this, I know where I am going.
