Default Friend maybe diagnosed...

I need some help here...a friend of mine who I've talked to almost every day for two years just informed me that she went to a doctor about some persistent headaches she's been having and that the words "possible cerebral aneurysm" popped up in the conversation.

She hasn't had tests yet and doesn't know for sure what the situation is (she's having an MRI and an MRA within the next few days). She's still communicating exactly the same way as she has in the past, or at least I can't detect any difference...

I'm extremely freaked out though and was hoping someone might be able to at least guess at what she might be dealing with if it is aneurysm related...

The research I've been able to find online says that an aneurysm could mean something ruptured or unruptured...all the pages about ruptured aneurysms that I've found seem to suggest that it's more dramatic than just headaches, or that the headaches wouldn't have been something she'd been taking lightly...but if it was unruptured would she be having symptoms like headaches at all?

The info I've found isn't clear...nor is it when I search for what the treatment and, well, survival rates.

I'm just wondering if anyone, at this stage in the game, could tell me what she might be dealing with...

Thanks.
