Hi,

My partner occasionally comments on burning sensations on the skin on his wrists and fingers. He is nearly 5 months out of radio therapy.

We did raise the question in a discussion with our oncologist quite soon after the end of treatment and he said it could be an under documented syndrome that stems from nerve damage during radiotherapy. I just wondered whether anyone else has had experience of this?

Thanks
Cathy

radiotherapy induced neurpoathy
Hi Cathy .although a little detailed,this article will explain the mechanics of post radiotherapy induced parasthesia (numbness and pins and needles)
Hope this will explain things.Chelle suffered very badly with this if my memory serves me right.

Thanks Liz that is really helpful.... will just have to try and stop myself worrying that it is not caused by a tumour :-)... It seems to come and go and is not bothering him very much so I will keep my optimistic hat on for the mo.
