Hello
How are things going with your husband? Sounds like my 67 year old sister is having a similar experience. She had a sore on her upper left arm (where you get shots). Surgery removed it but she also had a positive lymph node. She met with the Radiation Oncologist 8/21/25 . Will have her planning session next week and then 28 radiation sessions. A pet scan and then see the oncologist after all that, probably in November and she will go from there. It feels like thing are progressing too slowly for such an aggressive cancer.
Where is your husband in his treatment. Praying we all get good news.

Hello @dfwgal and welcome to Mayo Connect. I appreciate you sharing about your sister's experience with Merkel Cell.

How is she feeling since her surgery earlier this month? Does she have much discomfort?
