Well, I had my angiogram on Friday & it turns out that I've probably had the snnie for years!
It seems to be quite slow growing, but is pretty big; sort of egg-shaped, 2.3cm by 1.8 cm . It's on my right carotid artery. Only really got picked up because of the effect it was having on my eyesight. I think I've been pretty lucky that it's not gone bang before now - so does my neurosurgeon! They're hoping to "do" me before the end of the year They're going to try stenting and coiling it - if that doesn't work they'll do a bypass. |

Hi Beth,
Glad they found your aneursym before it ruptured. Hope your nerves are holding up during the wait for surgery. I have an untreated aneursym behind my right eye on the carotid artery myself. Currenty I have no symptoms and it is only 10.5 x 9mm. I haven't experienced coiling (though it is probably in my future), but have had an aneursym on my brain clipped. I have talked to people who have had coiling and I hear it is not too bad. Recovery is often pretty quick. Let us know how you are doing. |

Beth,
Sounds like you're doing well. I was pretty anxious waiting for surgery. Remember to follow doctor's orders for recovery after your coiling now...Sarah |

Ah well, I have my op, hopefully, on 11/2 - coiling & a stent. Hopefully it won't get any worse after that... |
