Newly Diagnosed: 4.9 cm ascending aortic looking for support

I used to have more anxiety and was afraid to travel after I found out. I have since calmed down. I haven't got the answers regarding how my Sjogrens enters in since it can cause inflammation to blood vessels. I see a different thoracic surgeon in January at University of Washington. There isn't any Mayo clinic in my state. I also live in a rural community a few hours from Seattle. I have my faith and have to trust God with my health and my life.

I agree I put my life in Gods hands but it is still scared when you are suffering from anxiety and panic disorder I do see a mental health doctor and tried meditation and listening to music when I go to sleep it’s always in my head. That’s why I joined here for support and meet new friends. I’m thinking about checking out the Cleveland clinic which would be the closest to me but not close enough we are even thinking of moving back to the city I live 30 minutes from the city and being out here has me worried the medical personnel would not get to me in time especially in the winter 🥶. I’m from Erie Pa where are you from? My name is Ann
