I am sorry you are so worried, all I can say Is , that there was no one more frightened than me when I had a procedure for a heart condition.

When I went into hospital on the day I felt terrible, but of course afterwards I realised I had no need to worry.

Talk about this with medical staff when the time comes you will not be the 1st or last very nervous patient.
Good wishes OP and I hope all goes well for you, now and in the future.

Hi all. I'm 52 and am having open surgery on an aortic aneurysm in 2 weeks time. It was found when I had a scan to diagnose appendicitis back in 2018. Although it is still small my vascular surgeon wants to repair it as I have recently been diagnosed with cushings syndrome which is very rare (4 in a million ). I am very worried as I am a single mum to a 15yr old son and lost my 24yr old son tragically in 2016. My head is all over the place and I was wondering if anyone on here had the same surgery. Many thanks
