Breast Cancer. Cryaotherapy To Treat Cancer, Oral Chemo Xeloda. What Can Be Done?
I want to know about cryaotherapy. Is it useful for treating cancer and which is the best hospital for it. My mom suffered from breast cancer she was operated in 2010 and now again the cancer has come back in lungs which we are treating trough oral chemo xeloda and we will even get her pet scan and her fish test is also in process. Pls guide me what should I do.

Dear Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your mother's problem. If the cancer has metastasized to the lungs, it is not possible to resect it with any kind of surgery (open or cryo). The only treatment for such a disease is chemotherapy, which she is receiving. If the fish test for HER comes positive, she can receive another agent known as herceptin (another form of chemotherapy).
Hoping for the best.
