Yes!! I guess in a few more years we may have a better idea of what is going on.

I'm glad at least the highest measurements are still fairly far below 5.0. At least I think I'm glad. Some days I think I want surgery now but usually I'm happy to wait!

When you first hear you have an aneurysm, but they don't usually do anything until it's 5- 5.5 cm, you think, that's not far from 4.2. When you get over the shock and hear that people have been living with 4 cm aneurysms for years, you relax a little. I don't want surgery until I have to. I'm 70 and hoping that it grows so slowly that I never have to. Unless they come up with a much easier way. Then I want them to practice on quite a few, before me.🙂 I'm content with watchful waiting.
