What Sanarus Patients are Saying

If you have a fibroadenoma and are considering treatment, consider what these women have to say about their experience with cryoablation.

Mari's Story

• Age 48
• Family history of breast lumps
• First fibroadenoma

"I know about breast lumps. Women on my mother’s side of the family tend to have fibroadenomas—lots of them. In fact, my mother had so many removed, she ended up having a double mastectomy rather than continuing to go through more surgeries. I decided to change that pattern." Read Mari's full story here.

Vicki's Story

• Age 45
• Underwent multiple surgeries for fibroadenomas during her teen years
• Recently had multiple fibroadenomas of various sizes treated with cryoablation

“With multiple surgical scars on my right breast I now faced additional scars and divots on my left breast. These made me self-conscious about wearing bathing suits or low cut shirts, and there seemed to be no end to the new scars I may have to face in the future. I was so relieved to have another, less invasive option. I don’t have to wait anxiously anymore, dreading more trips to the operating room.” Read Vicki's full story here.

Deborah’s Story

• Age 40
• Pregnant and scared
• Had previous surgical treatments for fibroadenomas
• Fibroadenoma treated with cryoablation: 1.8 cm 

“After my treatment was over, I got dressed and went to lunch and then back home for a nap. That was my recovery: taking a Tylenol^®, taking a nap, waking up and going about the rest of my day. I couldn’t believe it later when I took off the bandage and there was just a little piece of tape marking the incision site. I could hardly see it. Now it looks like a freckle.” Read Deborah's full story here.

Jamie’s Story

• Age 56
• Previous fibroadenoma treated with cryoablation
• Actively seeking cryoablation for new fibroadenoma
• Speaking from experience

“I had my first fibroadenoma treated with Sanarus cryoablation while living in Las Vegas. When another breast lump was discovered, I was living in Pittsburgh, and my current healthcare plan didn’t offer cryoablation. Personally, after the cryoablation experience, I am not willing to undergo surgery.” Read Jamie's full story here.

Yvonne, Age 51

• Had two lumpectomies for breast cancer, but no previous treatments for fibroadenomas
• Fibroadenoma treated with cryoablation: 1.05 cm

 “Given my history I just couldn’t relax knowing that I had an untreated lump in my breast. Besides, I didn’t want my fibroadenoma causing my future mammograms to come back abnormal. I asked Dr. Aks about my treatment options. When she told about cryoablation, an in-office treatment that requires no surgery and leaves almost no scar, the decision was easy. I was so grateful that I had an option for treatment without surgery and the associated complications that I experienced with surgical anesthesia.”
