This is an older thread but I have an appointment with Dr. Kavanagh in a week to talk about the nodules in the palm of my hand. I've had a few more small ones pop up on the same hand in a fairly short time. I don't have any contracture yet so from what I've read, this might be the time to talk about RT.

I met with Dr Kavanagh and will have 5 appointments beginning on December 12th. I really like Dr K, adore his staff. I'm not nervous yet, just hope it will slow the progression, or at least willing to give it a try and happy to be able to do something! I have a Christmas party to go to that afternoon. To those who have had this done, think I'll have any reason not to go because I'd really like to have some Christmass cheer :-) More later.

Hi friends...I just finished 2 rounds of RT in Colorado. I met with Dr. Kavanagh who kindly referred me to a Radiation Oncologist in my area. Dr. King in Grand Junction treated me. My experience with Dr. King was excellent and I am so grateful to him and his staff. It is too early to say if I see results, but I am glad I followed through with the treatment. Even if my disease stays exactly as it is (nodules, cords, and slight contracture) and doesn't progress or worsen, I will be pleased. I wish you the best of luck with your treatments in Denver, chewie. And I think you will be fine attending your holiday party :) ~susie
