Hello,

I am looking at getting RT on my left foot. Since Dr. S is ill, I am going to an American doctor who mostly has experience with hands and not feet. I am concerned about the treatment radius being too small. Here's a photo of the area that was drawn (smaller circle is nodule, larger circle is treatment region):

If you've had RT for Ledderhose, please share your experience or any documentation you have on the region that was treated. Does mine look comparable, or smaller to the area you had done?

Thanks,
Allisun

I wish my lumps were that small, mine are the size of your outer circle in both feet

Cheers, John

Hello.
I was diagnosed with Ledderhose in June. I was told I was going to have to have surgery by the VA and an outside ortho specialist. Thanks to the Ledderhose Blog, I researched radiation therapy and I am on my second round. So far, so good. Just a little tingling and dryness. According to the radiation specialist, my areas have decreased! I let you know more as time passes.
Good luck!

Hi - the RT on my son's lump seems to have stopped it developing. It has definitely slowed it down massively if it isn't completed stopped. Before RT the lump was developing rapidly. It doesn't work for everyone, but it generally seems to have very positive results for a condition that has few other treatment options. I think it is worth trying before having the lump removed.

Gracias por el testimonio y pronta respuesta
Saludos
