Should I get a second opinion about surgery?

It might not take that long for you to get an in-person appointment with the Stanford cardiothoracic surgeon if you tell them the size of your aneurysm, and that surgery has already been suggested. Apparently they do triage patients by urgency...so if you're insistent you may be able to get in soon. Good luck!

Very encouraging!! I always get nervous and hesitant when making doctor appts, especially important ones. Mentioning size of my aneurysm and that surgery has been recommended wouldn’t have occurred to me actually! Duh! 🙄 So thank you so much for the advice and the nudge! Very pleased to hear that there’s hope for an appt sooner than later.
