Does anyone know the difference between RFA and the surgery done in Germany?
DH has a few lung mets. He's having one removed, but others they will try to shrink with chemo at some point. Watching them for now to see if they grow. The one that is being ablated did grow.
Seems like if we went to Germany, they would just remove them all, right? Would love any insight.
