Yes, quite sure you will see 75. Most doctors will not operate until it is a 5 as there is usually no danger until then. I had open heart surgery at Mayo because mine was over 5. Found out accidentally that mine was a 5+. Yours is growing very slowly. Best to you and no need to worry for now.

I am 47 and have an ascending aortic aneurysm that has been at 4.5 for a few years now. At my last check up my doctor mentioned to start thinking about surgery. That put me into a whole different place with anxiety and concern. In addition to the procedure, I’m now worried about finding the right surgeon and if I would have a normal life assuming the surgery goes well.
