No more scans?

[JoannaHelen]

Hi all,

I had a SAH/bleed on the brain/ruptured Aneurysm on my birthday in April during Covid. I know, what are the odds! Anyway, they found another Aneurysm but smaller than the one that ruptured. Then they monitored it for a few years and then they explained I wouldn’t be having any more scans and if I have any worrying symptoms go to A&E. So I went back to work, working with children who have emotional, behavioural, learning challenges and Autism. Time has gone on and I just would like to see what’s happening up there, not because of any worrying symptoms other than the odd headache, but just to see if it has grown or changed? It feels wrong to ask if I can have scan just to see what’s happening, when there are people being rushed in to hospital as I was once to have life saving brain surgery, however, I can’t help but wonder? I can’t afford to pay for one either. Anyone out there having any similar experience? Or not and just want to comment or advise? Hope you are all doing well I haven’t written for a long time but I often read all of your posts.

Hi Joanna, I've not been in your situation, I have had scans periodically. If it is beginning to niggle you it might be worth expressing your thoughts to your GP, they maybe able to put your mind to rest, or arrange a scan. No harm in having a chat.
