Hi Paige:

So sorry for you, but it will be fine, you'll see. Are you afraid of the angiogram or that they find out that it grew again ?


I have been told some doctors do the CTA. Have you heard about that ?

Thanks

Hi Jo.

This is nice of you to tell me that. You know, since then, I have been told by many doctors that if your aneurysm is small - mine is 5mm in the widest diameter - angiogram might be risky. Also it depends where it is located. You say you have CTA. THis is near the brain, meaning if the blood leek inside the brain, then it is a stroke or worst. I have been given the name of a very famous professor in Belgium and I have an appointment with him on the 7th. Some doctors say it's better to monitor it. So I think I decided to take my time before I decide.

What about you ? How big is you CTA ? OR SHOULD I SAY WAS ? Also, nobody talks about age and I think it's important. When you are 40, in my opinion, it's different from when you are 65. Don't you think ?

Tell me please: do you or people you know suffer from depression after or when they have this illness ?

Thank you

Please tell me about your aneurysm.
