Rose - malignant mole behind my eye

I have recently seen a consultant regarding a mole behind my eye. It is turning malignant. I have been offered treatment soon or the choice to have it observed. The treatment is radiotherapy and removal. I am concerned if I leave it the risk of it spreading but I know I most likely will have some sightloss from the treatment. I’m concerned it may grow more into my eye too, it’s my choice but I’m really not sure what to do.

    Hi Rose,

    Have you found the Ocular Melanoma website? https://omuk.org/ They are a fount of knowledge for your type of melanoma & they also have a community page where you can chat to others experiencing (or having experienced) the same decision.

    Good luck and I hope all goes well, whichever choice you make.
