@graceliz It has been a couple of years now and no change in growth from 4.3 since 2022. My last MRI showed no growth and my heart surveillance team gave me the great news of not needing a contrast MRI for another two more years. I feel great and continue to travel and enjoy excursions while on cruises. After the first blush of worrying like all get out I slowly begin to relax. I wear a health bracelet on my arm to alert others and first responders should an issue occur. I am in my mid 70's and I did enjoy 20 minutes on the treadmill every day until I had a knee issue but I will be returning soon. Occasionally a mind over matter push is needed to remind myself I have to get back on the treadmill and I have lots to look forward to. My cardio team has been fantastic. If you feel overwhelmed or anxious make an appointment to see a professional to discuss how you are feeling and assist you in ways to address your anxious feelings. I wish you well!
