Ok, never mind. I wasn't thinking about censoring, just wondering were the posts were went to

So here, more are less, my post again:

First of all i want to thank you ... for the help. this is really a good way to help each other by sharing knowledge and experiences.

I made appointments with 3 doctors, who should be 'specialized' in Depuytren.
I will aks them all three about what they know and think about radiotheraphy.
I e-mailed a doctor from Germany and he sent me some article and stuff about radiotherapie, so i've got something to show.
First appointment is end next week.

I will keep it updated here.

Paulina, read what Issleib wrote in this thread on 2 Oct. It might guide you to find someone in your vicinity. So far there is no list of radiotherapy institutions in the US available and we are eager to hear about your findings!

Wolfgang
PS: at least we name on our web site two clinics in Montreal/Canada ...

I had corrective surgery for Dupuytrens in my left large toe, about 6 years ago, and although there has been some recurrence of nodules, the "clawing" of the toe has not returned. Last week I got confirmation from my GP of what I already suspected - the lumps in the palm of my right hand are Dupuytrens. I already have some "clawing" of the little finger on that hand. My GP's suggestion was to return once the finger was bent at some 20 degrees & he would refer me for surgery.

Having discussed this with a friend who's had similar surgery, I'd quite like to talk to someone about radiotherapy. But ... is there anyone in the UK doing this?

(BTW, I'm 52, male, live in the UK and am right handed.)

This probably belongs under Ledderhosen but I'll put it here under radiotherapy. I've had my 3 month follow up for my radiation therapy for my hands. Everyone is so pleased at the very obvious improvement that they have agreed to treat my feet. I start Monday.

I have had the first 5 radiation treatments on both of my feet. I didn't get the dramatic improvement that I did on my hands but I guess I really didn't expect to because the nodules were so much larger. But they shrunk and got a lot softer and more comfortable to walk on. A couple weeks after I had finished one nodule on the ball of my right foot grew back quickly and was quite tender for a week or 10 days but that has setteled back down and is still more comfortable now than before I started treatment. There has also been a little atrophy of the surrounding tissues. I go back to start the second round Feb 26th. I can wear walking shoes with arch supports again. But my feet are different and I will need to get new shoes for anything really active. I will have an appt with my daughters foot guru To get new hikeing boots in april.
