Hi, my name is Debbie. I noticed this was wrote in June 2025. But I also have a TAA ascending thoracic aneurysm and I was just wondering how yours turned out. Mine is a 4.6 they don’t seem to be too worried about it yet they’re keeping an eye on it once a year. But I’ve changed my diet so much. It’s kind of wondering how yours is doing if you could write back.

@okie68 Hi Debbie, actually when I I did this post I was seeing a regular Cardiologist and he was the one that mention the size of the TAA. In July I actually saw a Cardiologist that specializes in Aorta Aneurysm which is was a year later of founding my results. I did all the test with the new Dr and he explain that the size of the mid -ascending aorta was a 4.0. He gave me a lot of information and really explained in detail. I will see him every year and I’m hoping it doesn’t grow. After that my anxiety went from 10 to 2. I’m still scared, take my Blood Pressure medication, control the cholesterol and sugar so I won’t get diabetes or need medication for cholesterol. I can’t control my stress which they tell you not to stress. So far I have been doing good keep my self busy so I won’t think about it. I will get check again I July and hopefully I will get good results.
Changing your diet is good and try not to think about it a lot. I know is hard because we technically a ticking bomb. But at least we are blessed that we know about our condition and we can monitor it. I’m here for you if you need to talk Take care and enjoy life
