Good point. There are a few cardiovascular surgeons in my state and I feel I should get another opinion. I am seeing the one that wrote me off last year because I dared interrupting his patients who had appointments already. I’ll see what happens tomorrow thanks !

Well. I finally seen my cardiovascular surgeon today. I boldly asked him about what size it is. His response put my “freaking out” to rest. He answered my questions and this time he wasn’t rushed. He’s retiring soon.
Anyway he said that “I’ve been seeing you for 6 years and your aneurysm is 1.7 cm and it has stayed that size every year.” So don’t worry about it. It’s not going anywhere.
He also told me that “I don't see any tear in it and" I don’t know why the hospital put you through all that”.
So I rest my case and will move on to the ENT group because I have a paralyzed right vocal cord that doctors call “folds”. I’ve gone through many MRI’s and a cat scan and 2 swallowing X-rays to see if I’m in a chocking situation.
It’s not over yet but I’ve been getting great satisfaction in knowing other people going through the same thing in the mayo connect Support groups and how have they dealt with it.
Cancer is my most feared result. It may be something entirely different. I feel better having a chat with my cardiovascular surgeon.
