Thank you so very much rogermcintire,
I have been diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma January 2024, So many PT, PET, MRI, Biopsy, Blood Drawn, Referrals, Dr. Here, Dr. There, God give me the strength.
Yesterday, a Dr. told me he had a patient who was cured of the Merkel Cell Cancer, I thanked him so very much because what he said, gave me the first affirmation since 2023.
And you have validated this for me, I was at the point where, either I will be alive or with God, either is good with me. God be with us all.
The Dr. Did a Very Good Job though!

Hello Cindy, thank you very much for your response and update on the Merkel Carcinoma you are dealing with. For sure it is a difficult and scary time for most of us and if you are like me, I tend to always think the worst.
But there is hope! I have met and talked with two local men who have had Merkel for several years and are still alive and kicking! I found this very encouraging and hope you will too.
I agree that your surgeon did a great job and you appear to be healing nicely. What is the next course of action in your treatment plan?
Amen on God being with us all !

Hey Cindy, just checking in to see how you are doing - well I hope!

Hello Cindy, just checking in to see how you are doing. I wanted to share some positive news about my recent PET scan. The results indicated no Merkel cancer present after the surgery and 25 radiation treatments along with continuing immunotherapy infusions every two weeks.
I continue to be grateful for every day as a gift!
Take care of yourself.
