Hi Lynette,
Firstly, let me say that I am not a doctor or work in the medical field in any way. Due to an uderlying medical condition, I do have a lot of personal experience. That is a fairly quick progression, but as for size, you still have some room.
Do you have a job that requires lifting, do you work out rigorously? Those are things that you should not do. I always tell people with an active aneurysm not to lift anything that weighs more than a gallon of milk.
One other question. Did these measurements both come from CT or MRI scan? If so, what prompted the second scan so quickly?
