Good evening all, I have an appointment to have the bypass and 4 aneurysms scanned and to see the vascular surgeon to discuss the results. The surgeon can’t see me until September 12th. I will have the full body scan on the same day. He is the lead vascular consultant for Bristol, but he is on leave for most of August. The cut off danger point - where it’s not safe to leave it, is 5.5 cm for abdominal aortic aneurysm and 2 cm for the aneurysm in the knee. Last year the AAA was 4.8 and the knee one was 1.8, the other 3 were 1.8 and considered small. I try not to think about it too much, that way I can cope
