A young female friend is lookin into Crybolation/Cryotherapy to freeze breast cancer cells . Another male friend said the line is long for men with prostrate cancer to use, but it is covered. She is only 38 and found it in AZ for like $100.000 + not covered by insurance. I know it is in St Pete's FL and around Myrtle Beach, for men, but do not know if it is covered by insurance for females? I have not done any further research bec I had the lumpectomy surgery. and my supplement plan covered. I am uncertain if one still needs radiation. ? Best of luck and God Bless

I looked into cryoablation, however my tumor did not qualify it would have cost 5k cash out of pocket however it is covered under Medicare if you have that coverage. I do not think you get radiation after it but not sure. The procedure which takes under 45 minutes and under local pain meds is to me, the future of breast cancer treatment. The area treated starts to feel soft and the ablation starts an immune response that continues to kill any cells left behind.
It's intended for women >65 who have tiny tumors under 1.5 cm. I think more clinical trials need to be done to explore this because I think it's logical and could be a life saving technology.
