I owe it to him…

Back at the end of April of 2023, I noticed a lump in right axillary. I went to my GP, Dr. Gary Miller who immediately had me in to Washington Radiology for an exam. A week later the results were in and identified the lump as Merkel Cell Carcinoma, a very rare skin disease. Very quickly, by May 5, Dr. Miller had me in at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. By May 10, I was put on an immunotherapy drug. My response to that drug was exceptional and to make a long story short my cancer was removed after only two doses of the immunotherapy drug and the quick removal of the cancer laden lymph nodes. I owe Dr. Miller a much indebted thank you and gratitude for his quick actions and serious attention to the my symptoms. His intervention was critical for had it not occurred it could have been a much more serious cancer situation given the aggressive nature of Merkel Cell. Thank you Dr. Miller.
