I believe @ricki8 @californiazebra have experience with cryoablation for NETs and may be able to offer some insights.

@markmark007, cementoplasty as a palliative treatment for bone metastases can be done on its own or in addition to other treatments, such as radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation or cryotherapy. I hope this will relieve any pain she might be having. Will she be getting both cementoplasty and cryoablation?

I had microwave ablation (heat instead of cold) on a 2.6 cm lung NET and it successfully destroyed the tumor 5 years ago with no regrowth. I did not have any pain to begin with.

I hope the treatments can alleviate your wife’s pain.

Thanks, will check out ricki8 - she (my wife) & I continue to get more information before making a decision.
