Has anyone ever shrunk an Aneurysm?

Reading this has me a bit nervous. Unknown to me I was diagnosed in Oct of 2020 with a 5.5 AAA. I wasn’t told for some unknown reason. December of 2024 I wasn’t told I had a 6.5 x6.7 and needed to see a vascular surgeon. After seeing him I had another CT with contrast this past Tuesday (April 16). It has grown to 8.7. And they are planning to to a TAMBE procedure. I have to first see a cardiologist which is scheduled for May 6. Then an echocardiogram. I’m unsure if that will be the same day or scheduled for another day. Then if the cardiologist clears me, ( I had open heart surgery in 2020) they will proceed with the surgery. I’m very scared about all the “hurry up and wait”. But I’m trying to trust the doctors and the good Lord.
