yes, they can freeze it. It is a fancy word that starts beside a c. But Ive only hear of it being done for cervical cancer, not uterine. Freezing is truthfully common, but If you are thinking almost getting it done, I would ask for the LEEP procedure instead. With this procedure they slice the cancer out with for a time loop. It doesn't hurt because they numb it. I say this because sometimes the freezing doesn't bring all of the cancerous cell, and when it heals the cell can be different. Your cervix is class of like a doughnut. The cell on the bottom are flat and square (aka squamous epithelium) and the cells on the inside surface are elevated and rectangular (Simple columnar epithelium). When the freezing heals, sometimes the squamous cell grow up into the inside surface of the cervix, causing a return of cancer cells to be difficult to identify. Thats fruitless news if they didn't return with them all. But next to the LEEP or loop procedure, the cervix heals as a rule. Theres also a lazer procedure, but I think it is expensive, and most clinics don't hold that equiptment.
