Good suggestion, in addition to the one listed in our Treatment page I quickly found Dr Muff in Sedro Woolley and Dr Cleary in Yakima, both with good reports.

Re: Is it ever too soon for RT?

sloop:
I am 52 and 4 years ago developed Dupuytrens in my left hand. Did some research and came across this website and noticed the section on radiation therapy which was really the only option other than waiting and hoping it didn't continue to develop. I had a large nodule in the palm and over about 2 months noticed it starting to change shape so I knew it was growing. I live in South FL so had the opportunity to go to the best dupuytrens doctor out there in Dr. Eaton and he found a Dr. in Boca Raton to do the RT. Has worked great so far 4 years later and no new nodules and the initial nodule has disappeared.

Now unfortunately the other hand has developed a nodule about 1 month ago. So far I can't tell if it is growing and spreading like the first. Will eventually proceed with the RT therapy on this hand as well but was wondering if I should wait a few months. Can it ever be too soon to do the RT? Last time I got the radiation about 6 months after it started.

I live in Boca Raton for 20 years just move to the west coarse to help aging mother. I did not think Dr Easton was still seeing patients as of today. I see you saw him 4 years ago do you know if he is still seeing patients. I as schedule to see an oncologist next week to see about R/T in Jacksonville Fl. But, if I could go to Boca for treatment I have so many friends that I could stay with instead of a hotel in Jacksonville. Any information would be greatly appreciate I just wait to make sure that the oncologist really know what they are doing with DD. I'm also in the very early stage only one nodule and three cord in right hand and one cord in left hand. However, both feet also have the tingling sensation and both hands. Will see next week what the MRI shows.
