Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Yes, you can wait for aneurysm repair.
If you are not having much symptoms due to aneurysm then better to first start treatment for colon cancer.
Once your chemotherapy cycles are over, you can get done aneurysm repair.
Control of cancer is more needed in your case rather then urgent aneurysm repair.
