Keep in mind that the measurements of the dilation are not the same every time if taken by a different radiologist of doctor. My Thoracic specialist at a University Hospital in Houston reviews my annual scan himself and does his own measurements that tend to be a bit different than the radiologists. He shows that I am around 4.5 cm but the radiologists show 4.2 cm.

Thanks for your input. I just concerned of the uncertainty. I'm hoping l can at least get some piece of mind. What's your doctor's opinion of what he feels is to high of a number before it's a serious situation. The Internet can scare you to death. I appreciate getting information from someone who is going through it.
