I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope that you will hear from others on the forum who have had cryoablation for breast cancer and that they will be along to share their experience with you.
There is some information on our website on cryotherapy which I hope you will find helpful.
If you'd like to talk to one of our cancer nurses about this or have any questions about breast cancer and your treatment options, don't hesitate to ring their free helpline 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Hi! I had cryoablation for my breast tumor(s) 2 weeks ago.
This is not yet an option in England, which is frankly inexcusable given how low the risk is of adverse affects and how much a persons quality of life is retained or enhanced. I literally left the procedure with a single plaster and no pain, with minimal bruising. The pain I felt originally, as the tumor was up against the chest wall, is slightly still there, but fading. I have renewed hope! Outside of the UK, this procedure can be very expensive. Get tips from other women who have undergone cryo, at all stages.
There are other resources if you are looking into cryotherapy. The first is a cryotherapy for breast cancer facebook group HERE:
Hi where did you have it done? Cost? And Leo what type of breast cancer and size of Tumour? As I have read it has to be under 2 cm and also not widely used for breast cancer?
