@houston13 Thank you and thank you for the advice, the thoracic department denied my request to see them and it took me a while to even see a cardiologist basically they found out I had a enlarged a aorta through a CT scan for checking for lung cancer.

@mcb62 , Why would they deny seeing you? That is just not right, my surgeon saw me the following week after contacting him, don't give up, I have read people in this forum who have been monitored by a surgeon with aneurysms much smaller than yours. This is something you should even consider traveling or driving a longer distance if that is what it takes.
Find someone with a lot of experience, recognized in a major hospital, you don't want to take any chances.
You know you have it and that is already in your favor, a lot people don't get that opportunity, you can plan and find the right care and be properly monitored
All the best
