Hi everyone, 

first time here I was looking to hear if anyone has had experiences with the heat treatment? Argon plasma coagulation medical term. 

My mum is due this, this week after being told surgery and therapy are not an option as she is not fit enough. 

I am hoping and praying that this treatment removes the growth. 

Greatly appreciate any feedback xx

god bless you all ️

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Tina.

    I'm sorry to hear about your mum and I hope the treatment proposed by her doctors will prove to be helpful.

    I am afraid I can't advise you about argon plasma coagulation, but I have a suggestion which you might find helpful. If you use the search engine from the left-hand side of the blue banner at the top of this page and insert 'argon plasma coagulation' it will show up previous posts which you might find useful to read.

    Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you think speaking to them could help. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes,
