Merkel cell carcinoma (polyomavirus) anyone?

Posted by oldkarl @oldkarl, Oct 2, 2023

I have now tested positive (genetic and clinical studies) for Merkelcell carcinoma. A rough disease, with much high rates of morbidity, edt. than usual dermal cancers, etc. 75% fatal in few years. Anyone else out there showing this? It is listed as having about 1600 diagnoses per year in USA. Recent studies are catching up, from fact that Mayo had the evidence 8 years ago (in me) but ignored this form of polyomavirus/cancer. Viral lumps on digits, other hand issues. oldkarl
