3mm aneurysm do they treat?

[wsandly]

Hi, my name is Wendy and 2 days before X-mas I was told I have two aneurysm. It is recommended to scan them every 3-6 months, however I am going to go to the University of Penn. to see a neorosergeon. Do they usually treat a 3mm aneurysm. I have a 3mm on my ICA and one 2MM on my communication artery. My family is a mess, as my mom had one and we almost lost her. Is a MRA reliable, what is the best test to confirm they are there? I read so many stories on how not to wait get them treated asap, but then Dr's say to wait.
