Hi @gloryasong - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think your nervousness is very normal.
Two years ago I had a neuroendocrine tumor discovered in my first colonoscopy. This was followed by testing to find any residual cancer during the next few months. I found it soul testing. Waiting to get through and get results from important medical testing is hard.
What symptoms were you experiencing that led to the CT that identified your aneurysm? Or was this an incidental finding during a scan for something else?
