My father, 73M, has been diagnosed with an 8 cm aortic aneurysm and the doctor has said it needs to be done in 2 stages because also has the thoracic one that he needs to remove. I am scared that the aortic aneurysm will rupture before the surgery. He has changed his lifestyle and his blood pressure is good right now. Should I tell the doctor to do the 8cm first? I don’t know. I feel there’s more he can do.
