How Long Does Person With Descending Tear In Aorta Survive?

Hi, My Name is Rhonda Dye and I am 58 years old and I just found out I have a decending tear in my Aorita. The Doctors say they just want to treat it by watching it and keeping my blood pressure down. They say it is the smallest tear they ever saw. It is 2.2ml My Question is how long will I live? My Blood pressure is usually 119 over 58....I am so scared. Please have a heart and tell me what you think. I am thanking you in YYYY@YYYY
