    Hi Clarabee,

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I don't have any experience of this rare type of melanoma (mine is superficial spreading) but I do know there are several members on here who have posted in the past. Hopefully they will come along and share their experience but meanwhile I suggest you search either Uveal or Ocular Melanoma in the search engine (the spyglass) at the top of the page & you will see their posts. Also, can I suggest you take a look at this website which is great for information and they also have a support group you can join OcuMel UK - Supporting anyone affected by ocular melanoma

    I will also send you a friend request in case you would like to chat & I can share general melanoma information with you by pm.

    Good luck and I hope your treatment goes well,
