Merkel Cell Carcinoma: I'd like to hear from others

Hi All,
It's always great to hear about positive feedback from MCC. It can be very difficult sometimes to stay positive with this type of cancer. It is a (sneaky bas#^rd) Sorry!!
Sometimes it gets the better of me. I find that I go through good Days and bad. Yesterday was a bad one. Depression is something I've never had to deal with until now. My first round of radiation went well, no major side effects as it was focused on my right forearm. This time it's more focused on my upper body core and the side effects are a lot harder. (Nauseous, fatigue, headaches,.
I'm done ranting now. This is my only outlet with understanding. Hope everyone has a great weekend. 👍

I so understand, never have I had anxiety, since I was diagnosed, I started getting anxiety attacks after the first year. I called it going down the rabbit hole.
This cancer is very rare, mine was even more rare because it was not in the upper torso, it was in my left butt cheek and never made it to surface (which is a good thing) I guess.
Every time I have my PET scan and patiently wait for the response. I’m happy it has been negative all this time, I know I’m not out of the woods yet.
I try very hard to stay positive, (do have my breakdowns) just don’t want to stay there too long.
Keep positive.
