Patty, being active will serve you well for recovery. Your team at Mayo Clinic will let you know when and how you can introduce physical activity after cryoablation. When you ask "Did you follow up with personal physician after the procedure?" are you referring to the transfer of follow-up care to your local doctor?

@colleenyoung thank you
My plan is a scheduled CT scan next month so that we can see if the mass has enlarged. If not, another scan in 6 months. If it's larger then ablation will be done. I'm burned out from surgery and procedures so I'll avoid unless needed. It's a watch and wait approach which doctor said is appropriate
