Hello @worry

As you know, on Connect we are not medical professionals and therefore cannot make diagnoses or answer your question as to why your AAA has grown in one year. However, if your doctor is checking again in 6 months that sounds like he is being diligent and taking this seriously.

Is there something you can do for yourself in the meantime? Perhaps take walks (when the weather permits) or go to a movie or talk to a friend? It would be a good thing if you could build up some social support for yourself.

Also, you could keep a list of one thing that you are grateful for each day. Could you try and do that?
