Ken, my husband has battled the numbness in hands and feet since the middle of his rad txs. He had fairly severe joint problems before the cancer tx started, but nothing like during and after rad. The only thing that helped him was getting on a daily low dose of Predisone, which he is still taking. His left hand is still numb, but the right one is functional again. No one could really
offer any explainations except it might be a result of the rad. We are just hoping for the best because John loves to play the piano and build things. Good luck to your wife. Amy
