Welcome @mockinbrd we are happy to have you here, you are not alone. I know you will get a lot of insight and support in this group. I have a small AVM that was discovered several years ago that found while monitoring for my vascular disease. It was very scary when I was told... honestly at times, even though mine is small and has not changed significantly there is always an underlying fear. I believe it is a good to know so you can prevent future problems. I look forward to what others have to say and know I am thinking of you.
