I called Dr. T's office at Scripps since they have 9 to 10 year's experience with RT for DD, which is a a lot in the U.S. I have early nodes on my left hand and both feet, and feel similar pains and burning in my right palm so that seems to be developing DD as well.

Dr. T's nurse said he will only treat on hand or foot at a time, then to come back in 2 months for the next one, and so on. He also one does the first round of RT, never the second round, but the amount can vary from 2 to 5gy x 5 days for the treatment depending on the size of the node or if there is a cluster of nodes.

I will be traveling from Alaska wherever I go for RT, so travel costs will be considerable even for two trips someplace, but I don't want to have more radiation at one time than is good either.

What have other people had done at one time? What have doctors advised on this topic?

Hi, I had both hands and feet done at same time about 18 months ago. By Dr Schaffer in Guildford, UK.Found no problems at all. I fact went back tot work each day after treatment.
