  • Welcome to the forum, Sb75.

    I'm sorry to hear you're diagnosed with melanoma in your eye.

    Hopefully others who have been through a similar experience will be along shortly to chat with you and offer advice. Until they do I thought I might leave you with some information we have on our website about eye cancer, there's a section there dedicated to melanoma in the eye (there is also a section that covers treatment, which might be of interest) and I hope this can help a little.

    Also, our team of nurses are here if you think speaking with someone over the phone can help as you go through treatment. They can be reached Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this phone number 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes,
