Hi Modee and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’ve had various skin cancers, but not MCC, but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
I've done a search in the group looking for previous posts which mention MCC and found these for you to look through. I don't know if any of the posters had radiotherapy.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
