My Mum has been diagnosed with an anurism on her kidneys...4.1.  She has to wait for a scan until December 2011.  Is there danger of this anurism erupting at any time.  What can she do to avoid an eruption?  She is still having occasional cigarettes and is worrying herself sick.  She is 77 years old and had a bowel/colon op 6 months ago which successfully got the cancerous tumour.
