I had a heap of tests done over the last month. First it started off with a simple X-Ray, followed by CT Scans, PET Scans, Bronoscopy, Fine Needle Biopsy and last a surgical biopsy to my neck. At first the prognosis was stage 4 Lung Cancer with 2 to 3 months to live, but after the surgical Biopsy was done, it turns out I have a very rare cancer called Merkel Cell Caricmona, which is suppose to be set off from the sun. ... I have worked nightshift for the last 9 years. I currently get sore (not really pain) in the right side of my chest and right arm. Some days both, other days not so., but by the end of the day I feel like I've had 6 rounds with Mike Tyson and very much fatiguied. (Spell?) Other times but not everyday day and only an hour or so at the most I get a few headaches and the back right side of my neck gets sore. Most nights I seem to sleep upright on the lounge as i seem to get a consistent dry cough if i try to lay down. The dry cough also happens if I over exert myself, such as walking. Not sure what is going to happen here on end. I have an appointment this afternoon with a Radiotherapy specialist, but unsure if its just a consultation or some therapy will be given to me? Steve
