Hello everyone
My name is Bahar and my father was diagnosed with MCC 5 years ago. It was a little nodule over his knee without lymph node involvement. He had an extensive surgery and nodal dissection and 30 sessions of radiotherapy afterward. Regular follow up was done and everything was fine until 2 weeks ago that for checking up his BPH, an abdominal sonography was done and showed 2 metastatic lesions which the biopsy is in favor of MCC met. I'm so devastated about prognosis as I'm a doctor and can't help my self about disease coarse.
He has "churg estrauss vasculitis" for over 20 years and recieves immunosuppressive medications. I'm wondering if he can use immunotherapy or not
I read all of comments in here and really appreciate this community
Prayers and love
