6) Radiation Frequency Ablation Treatment

When my husband saw on the internet that there is a treatment that is called Radiation Frequency Ablation, RFA short. With needles in the liver from the outside and then a sort of microwave treatment so that metastases burn away) melt at 95 degrees.
It is only possible if the mestastasen no larger than 4 cm and no more than 5. We heard from a good friend who is a radiologist Zwolle hospital that Dr. L. Solbiati in Italy is currently the authority in the field of RFA treatment and who does it best.
We went to Dr. Solbiati in Busto Arsizio, 7 km past Milan in Italy, after him have emailed and informed. He saw the scan pictures from the VU, read the accompanying letter, saw the blood counts and said, "Okay, come about two weeks back, I do a biopsy in one of the tumors, (that's what he wanted to know more about )
At this first visit in his hospital, he made himself an ultrasound immediately, not when he basically did decide to do the RFA. (Editorial Note: For physicians, we address both the direct and Dr. Goldstein Dr. Solbiati in America the two authorities in the field of RFA. Contact us with a good motivation and we can send you the address.)

Two weeks later, I just went back to Milan, on a Monday. I arrived at 14h00, at 15h30 Dr. Solbiati did the biopsy, the next day revealed a tumor so large and dark on the scan was "dead" to be. Thursday's by me at 9:00 in the morning treatment. This meant: aenesthesie 70 minutes. For each tumor about 12 minutes in total there were three. In the afternoon I was sick, I snapped again at night. Friday is a scan. My husband (who had meanwhile arrived Thursday night) and I arrived Friday afternoon at Dr. Solbiati the results of the scan: tumors were gone.
About three months I have (so half January 2002) a scan picture to send to Dr. Solbiati.
I stay under control in the VU. I must say that I am great cooperation from the oncologist in the VU had.

The treatment in Italy by the private insurer and paid for by health insurance because it is not a standard treatment.
One should have in advance a letter of recommendation from your doctor, otherwise it is not reimbursed. You need an E111 form from the insurance carrier and take you to Italy. The stay in the room before you shoot. That you also get paid. Only your meals in hotel or restaurant you have to pay.
