I recently completed 25 radiation treatments for Merkel that first appeared on my left cheek under the left eye. Surgery removed the cancer area and one lymph node with Merkel cells. I'm receiving OPDIVO immunotherapy infusions every two weeks and after eight treatments I have had no adverse side effects.
I will have a CT scan in March.
It is good news to hear of your clear PET scan and gives me positive thoughts as to my prognosis! Thanks for sharing!

I wish you a clear scan in March.
Stay positive, I know it can be difficult at times.
