It's great you are seeing your Dr. on Monday. Coincidentally, I am having a 2 month follow-up after the initial consult. At that time, my cardiologist ordered the CT Cardiac Scan that revealed the 4.8 cm aneurysm. After seeing the results, he doubled the dose of my statin and ordered some lab tests (C-reactive protein, Lipid protein (d), and a lipid panel). This seems to have worked from what I can see about the results, so I am excited to find out if the results are as positive as I think they are. I'm also curious to see if he wants to follow up on doing an echocardiogram as he had mentioned at the first visit.
I'm so glad you found this group, I've found it very helpful and I hope you do too! I've received a lot of great advice and heard people's experiences which help me feel that I am not alone. All the best to you--will be thinking of you on Monday 🙂
