I have an aneurysm, which grew so large it was pressing on my brain stem, and surgeons were reluctant to operate further as too risky. Amazingly a blood clot formed in front of it and blocked it off, shrinking the aneurysm in size at the same time. I have now had I think two scans over two years, where it has remained in place, originally my surgeon estimated I may survive up to five years, so I am taking this, I still have the constant head pains, poor balance, memory loss etc but small price to pay for still being here, so my moto is never ever give up hope love Alice xx
