Diagnosed 9/17 unruptured brain aneurysm

I had an unruptured right ICA terminus aneurysm found incidentally when i had a MRI of my sinuses last year that was 2mm. First neurosurgeon I saw told me i had to get it fixed immediately or i could die! Didn’t have any peace about what he was telling me so I got second opinion. That neurosurgeon was totally opposite. Said 2mm rarely rupture and are more concerned if it’s 5mm or bigger. Could wait and watch for six months and see if any change so that’s what i did because i just had a cervical fusion two years ago that had to be redone 11 months later cause the bottom screws on both sides broke for no reason! Iwas not ready for any more surgeries. The aneurysm got bigger after six months so i had a WEB device put in. My anxiety was thru the roof after the neck surgeries but compared to those the fix for the anerurysm was a piece of cake. All done through the artery and only stayed overnight in hospital. That was in May 2024 and just on baby aspirin. Follow-up MRA every year to check it cause i don’t want more angiograms since i had so much radiation from x-rays , CT scans and angiograms the last three years Get a second opinion and maybe even a third. I did research online before seeing anyone and what i read lined up with the second surgeon. Try not to focus on what may or may not happen We are not in control. Trust God and He will work it all out for you! :blush::folded_hands:t2:
