Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Welcome Betsy. My prayers will continue for as long as you need them. Please let us know what your rheumatologist says. Hugs June ----- Original Message ----- From: cammiesmom4 Good morning, everyone. I'm fairly new here, and have been mostly reading and learning from you guys who have so much knowledge. However, I have a request: please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I have been diagnosed with an aortic aneursym (right where the aorta comes out of the heart). The surgeon wants to watch it for a couple of months. He says if it's not growing, it might have been there for years, and if it's not bothering me, we're not going to bother it. It it not in need of surgery yet, but we're doing another ct scan in 2 months and if it's growing, it's coming out. Doc is concerned about infection since I'm on mtx, and I will discuss his concerns with my Rheumy next week when I see him.
