  1. Thank you all so much.....i am probably going to say yes to coiling.....ive been looking around this site and its pretty scary having a 9mm bomb in my head as alot on here seem to range from 2mm -7mm....i know its just as bad what ever the size...but when you read of smaller ones rupturing its very scary.im just worried how long i,ll have to wait...since my first ct scan they sent for me back the next day for another ct scan with dye...2 weeks later mri scan ..this was end november...i ended up ringing the specalists secretary every other day for results as i had a letter in december telling me i had an enlarged blood vessel in my head...4 weeks ago i saw the specalist to find out about this aneurism....and to be told they needed to check measurments and speak to the ones who do the coiling....so over last 4 weeks have been nagging the secretary for results ..in the end went to my drs in an awful state and she rang the secretary up to find out she was in the process of writing to her and me with results..i then got letter 3 days later asking if i wanted the coiling or not ....or would i like to see mr roberts again to talk about it.....i rang her and asked for appointment....told her i wasnt willing to waits weeks ( i think sometimes we just wait and keep quiet )shock to get phone call last thursday for appointment next week.... Can i tell you a little of me...7 years ago i lost my son to cancer...i nursed him last 3 weeks of his life..here at home...i was with him when he died.....i thought that was it for awful things happening to my family ...now they have this..(must have been a badden in my last life ) so now since my poor son ..i tend to fight for my rights now...so i can see more calls to his secretary coming up....or i may go and sit outside her office lol....sorry im going on .....thank you for being here for people like me.....i wont say God bless as im abit off him at the moment saffy xx
  2. Thank you so much for your quick replies.....its so good to know that there are others out there who understand what im feeling....i really dont think my hubby and daughter have a clue of the seriousness of this....comments like "it could be worse if they had said 50%risk" "stop thinking about it"...maybe its there way of trying to encourage me ...but its not helping....anyway thank you again for your help...Saffy xx
  3. Hi im saffy....just found this site to-night...i have been diagnoised with a 9mm aneurysm and am seeing specialist next week to discuss coiling...i have had 4 weeks of sheer worry....even been putting my funeral plan in a file on putor...but seem to have calmed down abit now...had a scan for trigeminal neuralga.....and they found this....i am really scared..they say ive a 10 % chance in my lifetime ...Im 63... down to 5 % if i have coiling...so do i have it or not ...how do you make that decision...my friends and sister say yes...my daughter thinks 10% is good...any advise would be welcome ...thank you.
