Well I got my news early and the 2 cm spot on my liver is indeed Merkel cell. I have an appointment Monday to discuss immunotherapy and/or chemo. Any suggestions or advice on how to proceed since I do not have any Merkel cell specialists in my state of Indiana? Thank you in advance.

@kate777, I'm sorry to hear that your worry was confirmed at Merkel cell carcinoma. Immunotherapy is often used to treat Merkel cell carcinoma that has spread to other areas of the body.

Might getting a second opinion at Mayo Clinic be an option for you? You could develop a treatment plan with Mayo experts, who can work with your local oncologist to receive treatment closer to home.
