Hey everyone, posting on behalf of my mother. She has been suffering from G.A.V.E. (Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia/Watermelon Stomach) for over 2 years now, and has been "treated" by Argon Plasma for over a year. Thing is, the doctor (useless by the way) said that she shouldn't get more than 9 treatments by Argon Plasma…

Hey everyone, posting on behalf of my mother. She has been suffering from G.A.V.E. (Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia/Watermelon Stomach) for over 2 years now, and has been "treated" by Argon Plasma for over a year. Thing is, the doctor (useless by the way) said that she shouldn't get more than 9 treatments by Argon Plasma because it is dangerous after 9, but she is currently about to get her 11th treatment. I found that Endoscopic Cryotherapy can be more successful for the treatment of GAVE, but i can't find anywhere in Eire to get the treatment. She is willing to travel to the UK to get it done, so i was wondering if anyone knows of where she can get this treatment.

Thanks in advance.
