Dear all, firstly I would like to thank you all for all the Genuinely supports and shares of valuables knowledge, has been enormously helpfully to me, I had already 2 Brain Aneurysm surgeries in Charring Cross hospital, stayed there for +-2 weeks, and I've been told that I still have another Aneurysm to treats! They discharged me, without any ,either supports or any knowledge of Aneurysm or what to do! The following up appointment with the Surgeon will be after +-3,5 months, already, inumerous times phones the Surgeon Secretary's to speeds up my appointment, asks for cancellations! !, but she didn't seems much in any interest in hearing my agony or desperation. , just cold blood! Careless! Regarding my another Aneurysm, recently I'd attended the A&E there, as the pressures on my head was really agonizes, they done a brain scan, and told me that, I still can wait for treatment! ?,very unclear and extremely frustrating, as they didn’t explained to me if I could have another surgery, and get over those Aneurysm, once for all, or! ???anything, as a usually, all of them mentioned about the government's;Autheristy +shortly of staff, which I fully understand and sympathies, however, I need to know from someone's knowledgeable !..,if shall I try to get second medical opinions? ,also, most importantly; "Can we treats Aneurysm, Befores? ??,they Bleeding? ?,hemorragies? ??,really need supports +knowledge please!

Joey, please try not to stress about it as it's fairly common for patients to wait 2-3 months for coiling of an aneurism depending on its position, size and other considerations such as waiting lists for beds, surgeons etc.

Have you contacted Headway's helpline for printouts on the subject and some verbal reassurance ? If not, please phone them on 0808 800 2244 - free calls / office hours. Good luck.

HI - yes don't stress. I had large 18mm aneurysm coiled april18 then waited 6 months for further coiling of another smaller one. Your body has to recover enough to go through more surgery - it does take time. Keep well, eat well and I hope all goes well.
