Hi dchandler7,

I too have some nodules in both my hands and feet. There is hope but no foolproof solution. I had my hands treated with radiation first in Germany and then in Vancouver at the cancer clinic.

Another thing that I think has helped is going from two glasses of wine a night or one beer and the occasional scotch to drinking next to no alcohol. People on this board may disagree but I think it helped slow the progression dramatically.

Cutting the nodules out probably will not help but make things worse. Radiation, injections to reduce them from the inside out, these things I think are a better bet for the feet. (Injections being my top pick but I have not needed it yet.)

There is a study in the U.S. which is trying ascertain if the are really three causes of this set of diseases. I think it is probably but it is not proven yet.

Read, try things and keep as mobile as you can.

Good luck,
Mike

Hmm, suddenly and overnight???? My Ledderhose in my left foot was a very slow growth. Now have one in my right foot that seems to be growing much quicker then the left.
If u go with surgery be aware that any research you do you will discover that there is a high reoccurrence of it returning. When mine was removed that particular pod doc said they rarely ever come back....he was so wrong.
Also research as much as you can of anything that can go wrong. Had I to do it again I wouldn't have okay'ed the surgery until I knew more. I've had so many drawbacks, mostly nerve damage, so much so I now walk with a cane. Sleep is a sweet dream.......
Research ur doc as well, n ask ask ask ask him every question u can think of.
Good luck!
