My best suggestion is make sure you are scheduled for a Pet scan, this will produce staging info.
Get every first appointment possible.
Teaching hospitals are where you want to be, for me it was UVA. Fantastic experience there.
Also, start searching for your Dermatologist to be on your team.

Best of luck !

Thanks, Tom! I am in NC and need to investigate Duke and UNC to see if either would meet my needs.

Helpful suggestions, @buildertom. When were you diagnosed with merkel cell carcinoma? How are you doing now?
