R/T - QUESTIONS about treatment

I have several nodules in the mainly horizontal creases of the palms of my hand in each hand, pretty much under each finger about a 1/2" from the bottom of each finger, and a couple of cords as well it looks like.

Question: Should I be getting my whole palm radiated? (from the bottom of my fingers down to the top of the heel portion of my hand aprox?

Or should I just be getting pinpoint radiation for just each nodule and cord visible and feelable?

Is it better to do basically the whole palm of the hand and zap it just in case there may be stuff happening not visible or feelable?

I guess if I get the whole palm done, lots of good cells are going to get killed-----but, I was told that they will regenerate after a couple of weeks and will be fine-------and all the bad cells will be killed as well, but will not be able to regenerate because, well, they are bad cells

Need info.....thanks

Re: R/T - QUESTIONS about treatment

I would suggest the whole palm and up to the PIP joint in all fingers. That is what I had.

The RT does not kill "lots of good cells". The RT affects the active cells of the nodules.
