Had CT scan and they found a second much smaller mass.
Gave me the number of a interventional radiologist and looking like cyroablation where they inject cold nitrogen or such to freeze the tumor
I'm not in a hurry but my wife is

Hello - My tumor was 1.7 cm and I had cryoablation on June 18th this summer. You'll be under general anesthesia during procedure and should be able to leave same day. There will be a small bandage covering incision point on your back. It doesn't hurt but you want to keep that area clean. Bandage comes off in about a week and you're go to go.
Hope this helps and wishing you all the best.
