Hi, I had merkel cell carcinoma six years ago. I was stage two, the cancer had metastasised to a lymph node under my arm, 2cm. The tumor was just above my chest in the middle. My treatment consisted of Chemo, Carboplatin & Etoposide + Radiation all at the same time, no operation to remove the tumour was done. In the past I also have had SCC & BCC. Six years on, I'm now a survivor of Merkel Cell Carcinoma. I wish you all the best on your journey.
