Re: Ablation of Liver Met
I had ablation done on my liver almost 2 1/ 2 years ago and have been Ned since then.
There is no cutting. A large needle is inserted and it burns off the tumor. It was an outpatient procedure and very little recovery. I was put under for it because mine was considered a " tricky case" because they had to go in through my ribs.
