    Bumping up

    I had Thermal Microwave Ablation on my liver tumour in April 2014. 

    I know JAnderson has had a couple of Cryo Ablatoins. 

    I think these are different than RFA, but sure someone here must have had it done. 

    Bumping this up, so that it doesn't get lost.

    RFA's

    I've had about 7-8 done on my lungs over the years. They were a piece of cake. Never had a liver one done but I would imagine that the success rate is similar. Recovery might be different. I went home the same day for all but 2 of my procedures. Sorry I can't offer insight to the liver RFA's
