PATIENT STORIES OSTEOCOOL™ FOR CANCER PAIN

ELIZABETH’S STORY

Elizabeth’s cancer story started in 2012 when she was diagnosed with invasive vascular ductal carcinoma, a late-stage breast cancer. Elizabeth traveled to Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) in Phoenix, Arizona, from her home in Washington for treatment. After her cancer spread to her surrounding bones, Elizabeth’s back pain made it difficult to fly back and forth for treatments. Her doctor, Dr. Vivek Iyer, recommended the OsteoCool™ RF ablation procedure to treat her cancer pain.

CORY’S STORY

Cory’s breast cancer metastasized to her spine and sacrum causing unrelenting lower back pain that brought her into the ER. Not wanting to remain on opioids for her pain, Cory asked her doctor about other options. Dr. Ramsin Benyamin at Millennium Pain Central in Normal, Illinois, recommended OsteoCool™RF ablation to treat her bone tumor pain.
