I'm at greater risk for this as well... my father had an AAA the year after GL did and was treated by Hamilton Health Sciences as well. I have to have an ultrasound done every 5 years for the rest of my life because of it.

My dad was lucky as well, his was caught during a routine physical, he had been complaining of a bad back for at least 6 months before!!

This is nothing to take lightly... I'm only about 10 yrs away from being 50 myself eek!
