This is what upsets me. I had a brain aneurysm that they told me was a 2. Then I went to Johns Hopkins and they found it was a 4.7. Golden rule was to do an angiogram. I had to have surgery and by the time I got to the surgery a few months later they found the aneurysm to be very sick they called and flat.
I now have an aneurism in my ascending aortic area. 4.1. It’s been that easy for a year. I am worried sick. This can go the same way but the dr is very satisfied to wait this out. They never know what is really going on with these aneurysms until they get in. So it scares me.

Yes it is hard. Have you considered a second or third opinion. Or possible the consult with a different doctor. You have a lot going on. I would certainly want to feel confident in who I am consulting with. It is worth your sanity. These are very dangerous surgeries. They can't alway just go right in and do what we want them to do. I wish you the best.
