Did they give you an indication of size? Any follow ups? Did they say if it’s abdominal/descending or ascending?

You have the right to know more and have some indication of treatment, follow up, prognosis etc

Couldn’t agree with you more houston13, and it just so happens that I’ll be seeing my Cardiologist this morning with those very questions even though I got the report and images on “my chart” before they did. So I both agree and thank you for arming me with those very specific questions you advised. Sincerely, Robert or Chebo54 which ever you prefer.

Just got back from cardiologist and he said it was so infinitesimal that he wouldn’t even call it an aneurysm and was no cause for concern and set me up with some further testing, but then said “wow, I didn’t even know that you were dealing with stage 4 lung cancer and stage 4 prostate cancer as well. All in all I’d say you’re doing pretty damn good!” He answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Thanks again for helping me. Some chick I think kind of admonished me saying, “we all do our own research and I need to ask dr more questions- I’m still not sure if I should be offended- no, wait a minute, that’s impossible I don’t have the kind of ego that can be bruised by such Yakity yak!
