Hello @dawnstephenson. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to read that you are feeling scared to see a neurosurgeon for your aneurysm. I am hoping if you can share a little more about your journey so far, I may be able to better connect you with other members who can provide you with some support.

How long ago was your aneurysm found? Do you have a scheduled appointment with a neurosurgeon set up?

Hi, @dawnstephenson. Wondering how things are going with the vertebral aneurysm you mentioned a while back. Did you get to see the neurosurgeon? If so, what did he or she recommend?
