Experiences with

Cryotherapy

I am very uncertain about what treatment to select: - keep it at rest via hormone treatment, or - surgery/prostate removed, or - cryotherapy, or??

Uchio explained various treatment options such as traditional prostatectomy and radiation as well as the newer modalities like cryotherapy and HIFU.

Has anyone had cryotherapy after recurrence after radiation? Would like to hear about your experience. Thanks!

Is it beneficial to have cryotheropy after cancer has came back to prostate after proton. prostate has swelled and i'm self cathing mostly at night, cancer has spread to hip bones 3 areas so far been on zytiga for 3 months Lupron 3yrs predisone ,Flomax, Avodart, Psa o.86 testosterone 8 appreciate

Went through cryotherapy for the prostate stuff, and radiation for the lymph nodes. Later that year, bad headaches sent me to the emergency room where they found the skull lesion had grown. They had to crack me open to get a biopsy, which showed it was, indeed, prostate cancer.

Am told that cryotherapy and brachytherapy are best bets for curative treatment (I hate, hate, hate ADT!) Docs so far say either cryo or brachy is too dangerous because of ECE. Any advice?

We have done cryotherapy, acupuncture, yoga, vitamins, herbs, massage, oils, music and laughter. She can still drive, no cognitive decline and no falls...so maybe we are helping?

Hi, Long story short (or shorter) I was getting heavy watery discharge and needed cryotherapy to cauterise my cervix due to ectropions, which worked (discharge returned to normal!). Unfortunately 5 months later, it returned....

Over the first 10 years treated with hormone ablation, and 5 years ago received IMRT for 7 bone lesions, and cryotherapy for 3 bone lesions 1 year ago. Started Dynamo (Zytiga, prednisone, abiraterone) 30 months ago; PSA stable at 0.6 for last year.

Is this the normal ablation or different as I have read from here posts abount cryotherapy.

chemotherapy •CHT = combined hormonal therapy or treatment (see also CAB, CHB) •CHTx3 or CHT3 = see CHB3 •CIS = cancer information service (of the National Cancer Institute) •CPA = cyproterone acetate •CP = capsular penetration •CRPC = castration-resistant prostate cancer •CREAT = creatinine •CRYO = cryotherapy

Has anyone tried and had success with cryotherapy? I’m booked in for a 3 minute whole body and 10 minute localised treatment on Monday. I understand it can help reduce inflammation and has other benefits

Proton therapy and seeds, reoccurrence in 10/15 cryotherapy and lupron, Provenge in 2017, and then rising PSA and now XTandi May 8th. PSA now down .8. Started plant based diet and keto and not sugar. Looking more options before these bullets run out.

My days are literally surrounded by pain meds, heat and cryotherapy, bed exercises and walking. It is a far cry from my previous life of walking 10miles a day, extensive travel, working 60 hr weeks and basically, making the most out of life within the remit of my abilities.

Just curious if anyone has done this? States it is great for inflammation. Looks interesting. Groupon is running a special. Second note} I have not been on this site in quite a while and I have said a prayer for everyone that needed one and a blanket prayer for everyone. xxoo

Cryotherapy in the paddling pool now, where I shall not celebrate completing W4 but instead fret that I now need to face WEEK 5 😱😱😱😱 Good luck all and thanks for your support out there today.

I had a lap a week ago and at the same time they treated quite a large cervical ectropion with I think cryotherapy. I've read some discharge is expected but I'm getting heaps of clear/yellowy sticky/watery (sorry TMI) discharge, heaps more than normal discharge.

Had cryotherapy, 42 sessions of radiation 6 shots of Radium223 for Mets in pelvisand I am currently on Zytiga, Lupron,and Xgeva. At no time has my PSA gone below 3. Recently it jumped to 6 and my oncologist started talking about radiation. Yesterday it was back to 4 so we are staying the course.

I underwent cryotherapy. My psa dropped to .02. Moral of the story is radiation doesn't always get all the cancer
