Neha Jones, a 58-year-old high school principal, was diagnosed with low-risk, localized prostate cancer during a routine physical. A biopsy confirmed a small, slow-growing tumor. As an active person who loved hiking and yoga, Neha was deeply concerned about the potential side effects of traditional surgery, particularly incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Her urologist, Dr. Chen, recommended cryoablation as a minimally invasive option that could effectively target the cancer while offering a better chance of preserving her quality of life. The procedure itself was done under general anesthesia and took about two hours. Neha experienced some initial discomfort, urinary urgency, and fatigue for the first week. However, within three weeks, she was back to walking her dog and managing light work emails. At her three-month follow-up, her PSA levels had dropped significantly, and a follow-up MRI showed no residual cancer. Emotionally, Neha went from feeling terrified and 'marked' by her diagnosis to empowered. Choosing a treatment that aligned with her active lifestyle gave her a sense of control. While she still has check-ups, she feels optimistic and grateful for the technology that allowed her to treat the cancer without major life disruption.
