      i am 37 years old just recently in february of 2007 i was diagnosed with a thoracic aneurysm. I have already been told i need surgery for this as well. Now i'm in the process of trying to get a second opinion to see what else can be done. I have been told already that I have a 15-20% chance of coming out a paraplegia. where do i go from here?

      This medicine is to slow down my heart rate and blood pressure and keep the aneurysm from growing larger.
