Hello JStokes, 

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. 

Best wishes,

I would also be interested to know about this if you find any information. I know there is a hospital in London that offers it, but I do not recall which hospital or which Dr - will let you know how if I find out, but also woudl love to hear if you find out beforehand

These advance techniques are never available under NHS settings. Maybe 20-30 yrs later it would be possible in the UK, too. The technique is used on a regular basis in the US. 

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:

Hello :) 

I was hoping you'd been able to find out more about where this procedure is offered in the UK? I'd be extremely grateful if you could please share any information you may have. Thank you so much

Please could you let me know where you had cryoablation? Gratefully received, either on the forum or if you need to contact me directly. 

I'm glad it worked out so well for you!

Best wishes
