Merkel cell killed my ex-husband, my daughter’s dad. Nasty stuff —he was gone within a year of diagnosis and was in constant pain and he grew lots of tumors under his skin that didn’t give him a moment’s rest.
Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
I’d never heard of Merkel Cell before Jimmy Buffett’s death, and the articles mostly mentioned how aggressive it is.
Merkel cells are found close to nerve endings which must be why it’s so painful. Sorry about your ex. Probably a relief when you finally pass.
