Yep - FinL had a watch and wait situation with his aortic aneurysm. It gives the patient time to come to terms with the pros and cons of surgical intervention.
I have altered my BB in recent years from 40mg to 20mg x 2; 'not the usual way it's prescribed' said my GP at my annual med up-date but as I said, it is working in that the headaches are less. It suited me well until 2 weeks ago when I dropped to 20mg with breakfast, to avoid the ears morning headaches. It is so Trial and Error getting 'it' right
Why do you require surgery? Think about why you went to your GP initially and decide if you feel worse, having waited this long? Take a list to the Consultant too. Let us know how you get on
Don't feel pushed into anything. Even if it's 'better out than in', if it isn't Life threatening in that you need instant admission, you are entitled to feel well when you decide to do or not what has been suggested !
In 1991 I had a vaginal polyp that bled on contact which my [private] Gynae told me required removal. Soon. I asked if he was looking for another holiday if there wasn't any danger to my general health. He insisted that I made a hospital appt. which I cancelled later. The polyp disappeared at peri .......... sorry, I digressed
