What Could Happen If The Aortic Root Is Dilated To 5.2 Cm?

My wife's aortic root is dilated to 5.2 cm, in accordance to an echo done Nov 29, 2011. Because it's to holiday season, and because she is undergoing Chemo for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, she can't see the heart surgeon until Jan 5th, 2012. Can we safely wait until Jan 5th, or should we do something now? I've changed my mind about this consultation,but can't get out of this window. Release whatever is holding me.
