@daisydays So sorry you are going through all of this, but happy to hear that your cancer was caught early. To me cancer is a much scarier diagnosis than aneurysm.
I was diagnosed at 4.2 cm a couple years ago. I had just retired at 70 from nursing. I'm in good health. Not overweight. Very active. Eat well. Probably not as well as you,🙂 but I majored in Dietetics , until my mom died from a brain tumor and I changed my major to nursing. I'm still very much a foodie though.. I can or freeze local produce. Bake with sourdough starter.
The aneurysm diagnosis made me stop and reevaluate a lot of things. I live more in the moment now. I stress less about little things. It might be my age, but I've accepted that I have an aneurysm, and it doesn't scare me anymore.
You have been through a lot and remain so positive. I think you are doing everything you can, except one thing. I think you need to have an ice cream every now and then. Life is too short!! Have a small one.
Sending prayers, hugs and well wishes on this journey!! You've got it!!!!🙏🙏🙏♥️

Hello @ pegsterb
Thank you very much for the warm welcome.
As well for your thoughts, so appreciated !
I’m sorry you are dealing with this too, and glad you are doing positive things for your health as well.
Wow, and canning and freezing… so smart to have that nutrition handy year round.
I’m sorry about your Mom, must have been very difficult.
Yes, between the cancer diagnosis and now this, I have reevaluated some things as well. That’s great that you have accepted and are no longer scared of your aneurysm. I’m glad to know this, as I’ve been processing this, that has been my goal.
Thank you for your thoughts, and Hahahaha lol you are funny, I laughed loudly… and I do miss ice cream 🍨
Thank you very much for the encouragement, well wishes, hugs and prayers.
I’m sending them all right back to you too !
Hugs 🤗 Daisy
