Five years ago I started having tias, my neurosurgeon said my aneurysm was so big it was pressing on my brain stem, they could try one more op to put more coils in but at the most it would give me up to five years. The night before op I collapsed and was rushed in, went to theatre to be told unable to do coiling as there was a clot in front of aneurysm and was stopping blood flow into it. Since then I have had scans that have shown the clot is still in place and aneurysm was shrinking. My last scan was last month and today I have had the letter confirming the result that the aneurysm is is completely closed off, they will continue to monitor on a yearly basis. So guys even when there seems no hope, you just never no love Alice xx

Hi Alibongo
This is a wonderful thing to read. I agree, miracles and amazing things do happen every day.
Until our own miracle happens, staying positive and smiling at the little things, a blue sky, a wag of a tail, or a wave of a hand, can all help.
Hang in there! 🤗
