Hi! Has anyone heard of the cryosurgery treatment for cancer that they are doing at FUDA Cancer hospital in Guangzhou, China? A friend's mother-in-law is receiving treatment there and they said I should consider it.

    I googled it and it's still
    I googled it and it's still under study and the long-term effectiveness isn't known.

    Thanks for your reply! I guess I should go the traditional route of chemo to shrink my 6.7cm tumor and then have breast surgery. Might try FUDA after.

    I had a 6cm tumor and a 3cm
    I had a 6cm tumor and a 3cm tumor and another smaller. They gave me chemo to shrink it first also. Then after surgery had to have more chemo because I still had 2 of 15 nodes infected. Then had 6 weeks radiation. I was diagnosed in 2003.

    Of course the decision is up to you but that is a pretty big tumor to rely on something that is still under study. Nothing is a guarantee anyway but...may as well get the odds in your favor as much as possible.
