Thanks everyone for comments. I have to add that I have a 3+4=7 lesion. One spot. Another small spot of 3+3=6. Dr said not to treat the 3+3=6 spot just surveillance. This Dr has done over 200 cryotherapy treatments and is know for her expertise in Minnesota for cryotherapy. I did not have a decipher test. I am 75 years old.

With the comments I was hoping for more positive answers.

The Dr is very confident. But the radiologist was as well. Of course you wouldn’t want to pick a doctor that is not confident.

There just seems so much more that can wrong with radiation.

Any additional comments are much appreciated.
