Re: Just got RT approved and scheduled!
I have an appointment next week, I think I will proceed with RT. In looking carefully again, I noticed thickening in the skin alongside the nodule and yes, it is a cord.

TimLintz:
I too have just recieved approval for RT at University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. I am excited also. I have had 5 hand surgeries to fix my hands. If this just retards the progression I will be thrilled. I will post later on the outcome.
I would like to know on which scientific basis the use of POSTOPERATIVE RADIOTHERAPY is justified after 5 surgeries (!!) and with which RT dose concept your hands are to be treated ??
I know, that radiation therapy in GERMANY is not using RT in the postoperative setting; You may and should approach a specialist like Dre. Betz or Prof. Seegenschmiedt about this issue !
Larry
The radiation therapy I am getting is for new cords. in the left hand on different fingers than the ones that had surgery.

Re: Just got RT approved and scheduled!
Remember, RT doesn't affect the cords. RT affects the nodules which are the active cells.
