Mine is an ascending aortic aneurysm as well. So if it goes, I'm pretty sure I do, too.

The way it's going, I'll likely have the surgery in 2 to 3 years. Though I guess some organization changed their guideline to considering surgery at 5 cm. I'm already there.

But no doctor seems all that concerned, so I'm trying to go with their energy. I don't want more pain, scars, recovery, potential infections, reactions to meds, etc.

I know I'll have to give in eventually. Maybe December when I have my next scan.
