This runs in my family I just found out my thoracic is 3.3 don’t know how long it has even been there! I heard this can grow slowly can it! This just really scares my my mother had abdominal and thoracic and abdominal! Their attention was on the abdominal as she decided no surgery! They discovered my brothers when it was 10.1 had emergency surgery! This is really scary to me!
