Send Tim a NoteAbout Me
My story is just starting. About 19 months ago my Dr heard a murmur. She scheduled me for an Echo. When I had my Echo they saw the Ascending Aortic Aneurysm and the Bicuspid valve. I then had a CT to confirm and met with a Surgeon and a cardiologist. They saw that the Aneurysm was at 4.5, they then scheduled another CT for 6 months later, that one was 4.5 as well. As there was no growth, they decided to wait a year for the next one. I just had the one year one and it was 4.6 so it had a little growth. My next Echo was suppose to be 2 months from now, but the surgeon moved it up and has now limited me to lifting no more than 30 lbs. My next CT scan is back on the 6 month schedule and will be in November.
