RT at Exeter Hospital UK

I had very successful RT to one hand two years ago with John Glees at Parkside Clinic in Wimbledon privately because I could not find a unit that would offer NHS treatment. Shortly after my treatment there was a post on this forum from someone who had NHS treatment at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital by Dr Goodman. I see that this unit is now included on the list of clinics offering RT. I now need RT to a new nodule in the palm of my other hand and would like to consider treatment in Exeter because it is closer to me and would I hope be through the NHS. I wonder if there have been any other forum users who have had treatment in Exeter and if so how satisfactory they found the unit and was the treatment covered by the NHS?

Hi Adrian, just wondering if you decided to go ahead with the RT treatment in Exeter in the end? I have early but fast developing Dupuytrens in both hands and am wondering if Dr Andrew Goodman has had success with this treatment? Have you heard any reports? I'm keen to avoid surgery if possible. Thanks, Richard

They are listed on the treatment page of the web site http://www.dupuytren-online.info/radiotherapy_clinics.html, maybe give them a ring? Please keep the forum informed.

Yes, I've already made contact with Dr Goodman's clinic and spoke to his secretary. Am considering asking my doc for a referral but am just keen to hear of any feedback from anyone who's been treated there...
I'm actually in London but Exeter seems to be the nearest NHS option!
