I also had Lyme in 2006
Was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm
Last January. It was 4.0
August stayed the same. And in February 4.3. Very scared about it. Wish you well. Will ask my Dr about Lyme

Sending well wishes and prayers!! Your measurement could vary due to the equipment, whether or not you had contrast, skill of the technician performing the study or interpretation by the radiologist. There are several posts on this site with people talking about the variations they've had with their measurements. I was just diagnosed at 4.2 cm in September, so I haven't had any further studies yet. I hope you can find a little peace in this. I was frightened initially, but I'm OK now. I'm grateful that I have the diagnosis and can make the changes I need to in my life. Take care!!!🙏🙏🙏
