Welcome to a club we had rather not belong to. I was diagnosed with Merkel under my left eye last July. I have had surgery to remove the cancer and two lymph nodes (one of which tested positive for Merkel). Currently I have five immunotherapy treatments completed and thirteen radiation sessions. I'm hopeful since the cancer was caught very early everything will be ok. If you would like to share information or to ask any questions, please feel free to do so.
I am an 81 year old male married sixty two years and overall in fairly good physical condition.

Thank you for your message 🙏. I'm still waiting for everything to set in. I had a tumor removed 2 years ago from my R forearm. It was confirmed as MCC. Then, about a month ago a lump the size of a tennis ball seemed to pop up over night. The biopsy was done and 4 of the 6 effected lymph nodes 4-5 cm and confirmed as MCC.
