Re: womanofsteel aka Jacquie

Jen,
I picked up on Tom's comment about RFA/cryoablation. I had cryoablation on a single liver met. I had the procedure a year ago and so far I am holding NED status (no evidence of disease).

Unfortunately, there are limitations with the procedure in terms of # of mets and location, but it is something worth checking into.

Please ask your Dr. about the possibility.

I am so glad you found us and appreciate your efforts to keep us posted.

Love, Lori
