Can you contract Merkel cell from kissing if your partner has MCC. I have a weak immune system and have had issues with a sore in my nose that won’t heal. Have been told I was a pseudo carrier. Husband presently has neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer and is always getting these lumps cut out of his legs arms and back

Hi Carol, having a weak immune system and now a sore that won't heal understandably makes you anxious. Luckily cancer is not contagious, that includes Merkel cell carcinoma.

It sounds like you should see someone about that sore in your nose that won't heal though.
