Age doesn’t exclude you from options, sometimes, it opens the door to better ones.

Postmenopausal women with small, hormone-sensitive invasive ductal breast cancers may be ideal candidates for Cryoablation, a minimally invasive treatment.

The slower-growing nature of these cancers, combined with advances in imaging and hormone therapy, make Cryoablation a meaningful option for women looking to avoid surgery, especially when overall health or life stage makes traditional treatment less appealing.

If this sounds like your situation, you deserve to know all of your choices.💬📋

Movement is not just optional, it is part of your healing process.

Cryoablation, a minimally invasive treatment, often allows patients to resume gentle activity within a day or two. This approach helps preserve muscle tone and shoulder mobility, so you can return to the exercises you love more quickly.

Staying active post-treatment supports your physical strength, mental health, and overall recovery. When you’re ready, adapting workouts with lighter weights, slow stretches, or modified yoga can help you rebuild steadily.💪✨

Cryoablation, a minimally invasive treatment, is just one part of a comprehensive approach to breast cancer care. Continued follow-up helps ensure your healing is on track and supports early detection if additional treatment is needed.

After the procedure, follow-up may include:

🔍 Imaging: Mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs performed at regular intervals to monitor healing and screen for recurrence.

🧪 Biopsy: A needle biopsy of the treated area may be recommended to confirm complete cancer cell destruction.

Many radiologists are still unfamiliar with interpreting post-cryoablation imaging. For patients, this can lead to delays or unnecessary tests. Dr. Holmes helps bridge that gap by connecting patients with experienced radiologists who understand the nuances of follow-up after Cryoablation.🧊📋🩻

Breast cancer treatment isn’t just about survival, it’s about preserving the parts of life that make you feel whole.

For many women, intimacy is one of those parts.
Cryoablation, a minimally invasive treatment, doesn’t require removing the breast or undergoing extensive reconstruction. That means fewer physical disruptions and more room to stay connected to your body and your partner on your terms.

With no overnight hospital stays, faster recovery, and no general anesthesia, you may feel more like yourself sooner and stay closer to the life you love. 💞❄️🕊️

Knowing what to expect during the Cryoablation procedure can make the experience feel less uncertain.

This minimally invasive treatment is straightforward, effective, and typically completed in under an hour. Here’s how it works, step by step:

🩺 Local Anesthesia
The breast is numbed with a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. You may feel a quick sting at first, followed by complete numbness.

🔍 Cryoprobe Insertion
A small 3mm incision is made in the skin. Using ultrasound, the doctor carefully guides a thin cryoprobe into the center of the tumor.

❄️ Freezing the Tumor
Liquid nitrogen circulates through the probe, creating extreme cold that freezes the tumor and a surrounding margin of tissue. The process includes two freeze cycles with a thaw in between.

🎯 Completing the Procedure
Once the freezing is complete, the probe is removed, gentle pressure is applied, and a small bandage is placed over the incision. No stitches are needed, and no hospital stay is required.

Many women worry about how surgery might limit their physical movement, especially lifting, stretching, or getting back to favorite activities such as yoga.

Cryoablation is different. This minimally invasive procedure is done with local anesthesia and most patients experience minimal discomfort, no significant limitations in arm mobility, and a faster return to daily life.

That means you can raise your arms overhead, reach, and move freely without the extended recovery that often comes with traditional surgery.🌿

A breast cancer diagnosis touches every part of life, including the people you love most.

Cryoablation can ease some of that weight. It’s a quick, minimally invasive treatment that doesn’t require surgery, long hospital stays, or weeks away from home. That means more time to be present with your family, and less disruption to your day-to-day life.

If you’re exploring options, this is one worth asking about!

When breast cancer affects how you see yourself in the mirror, it impacts more than appearance.

Cryoablation avoids removing breast tissue, meaning there’s no surgical scar or physical distortion of the breast in most cases. This isn’t just a cosmetic benefit, it’s emotional preservation.

You deserve to feel confident in your body and supported in your choices.

Explore treatment options that protect your identity as well as your health!🙌💛
