There was an article, in I seem to remember Time magazine, last year talking about medical issues on retirement.
For men one issue was the Aorta scan.
My mother was diagnised with it but refused to have the operation (insert a stent) at age 80..told the chief sugeon "I passed my shelf life...you're not going to muck me about"....she passed away 5 years later of natural causes.
I get my scan tomorrow.
Do you have any symptoms or are you getting scanned on the possibility that the problem is genetic?
