I received a phone call from my surgeons office and they hinted that I'm very close to leaving the waiting room. He wants to have a "sit down" on Thursday the 26th. A recent CT showed my ascending anuerysm is now at 4.8cm x 4.6 cm (it must be oblong/egg shaped). I'll have another echo and then consultations with the cardiologist and the surgeon. I feel very fortunate because my surgeon is Dr. Patrick McCarthy of Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He's considered one of the top surgeons in the country. Although I'm not thrilled about the procedure, the impending surgery no longer totally freaks me out as it once did... mainly because of my research and the postings of the people on this forum! Thanks to all of you!
