Hi iam a newbie to all this,
my huuby has recently been diognosed with merkel cell carcinoma, it started with a very small lump after knocking his leg at work, it grew quite quickly and he went to have it taken off, when result came back he was told it was the very rare and very aggressive merkel cell and he would have to have a wide local excision to make sure they got it all out.
He has just had the operation this week which icluded a skin graft as it is on his leg and also a sentinel node biopsy too, so now we have to wait four to six weeks for thr results of that.
Its a very worrying time waiting for results and because its rare dont really know if its likely it will have spread to lymph nodes. He has also had a ct scan which thank god came back clear. its just good to read good stuff from other people who have gone through this. it gives him hope that everything will be fine,
thanks in advance for any replies
