Stage 4 mets to humerus head.

Blessed68

I was diagnosed with a reoccurrence to my right humerus head (shoulder)

I have already had to my dose of radiation previously so they can't do it again. They are talking about a shoulder replacement or cryoblation. If the do a shoulder replacement it will get rid of the cancer in that shoulder for good. But it is an excruciating surgery. Cryoblation isn't guaranteed to get all the cancer.

Has anyone experienced either of these procedures?

Scared confused and undecided.

Thank you
