I might mention I'm a professional worrier.

Hi! I was diagnosed with a 1 cm anneurysm six years ago. The doctor told me that I had about a 1-2% chance of rupture during the next year. He gave me the option to wait or have surgery. I decided on surgery but had planned a two week trip to Washington DC with my mother-in-law. The surgeon told me to go and have fun. I did and two months later had it clipped. There was no way that I was going to "wait and see" and not have surgery. My surgeon also told me that I could have had the annie a long time and nothing had happened. Be thankful that it's been found!!! Go out and do something fun!!! The waiting seems to be the hardest thing to do.
Make up a list of questions that you have before your dr. visit and make sure you are comfortable with his/her answers. Try to relax as much as you can.
My prayers are with you. Katie
