Good News. The Circulating <strong>Merkel</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> Count<br />
dropped to ZERO<br />
Friday, February 04, 2011<br />
It can't go lower than 0. This can't be bad news. I can't let myself be too excited about this<br />
because the count was 0 before my initial radiation treatment and I still developed a<br />
distant recurrence, but this is the best possible result.<br />
I had a chest x-ray and it doesn't show any large mass, although the location is such that<br />
it would take some growth from the previous to be visible.<br />
There are no lung metastases visible. In fact my chest x-ray looks like that of a 40 year<br />
