the docs been doing scans on my grandmas lungs every few months cause she has a spot on her lungs.. they say it has not gotten any bigger or anything so they dont think its cancer..... well the other day she got a scan done and they found something diff.... they say that they think shes might have An abdominal aortic aneurysm in here stomach ...... which is a potentially fatal abnormal swelling (often balloon-like) of a segment of the body's largest artery, the aorta.. my grandma has all the symptoms .. shes always had stomch problems i just want to know why they havent caught this sooner... she might even have to get surgery.... its can cause blood clots and one of the dangers is an aneurysm in her head which would kill her.... grrr to the doc for not finding this sooner.... consdiering she has been having test done and stuff trying to figure out whats wrong with her for months now....

Hi Skittles,

I'll keep good thoughts for Grandma. They say you are born with aneuryisms and then something just makes them grow. If it's in your brain alot of times they don't catch it, but they seem to catch alot in the stomach. They should do the surgery but I guess they are thinking she may not be stable for it?

Be well my friend
Tranquility
