    Hi! I was diagnosed with uveal melanoma in Aug 2022 and had PBT in the November. Not sure whether you are having PBT or plaque treatment? Depends on size and location of tumour. The procedures you will have might seem scary at first, but the reality is that you will be well looked after and supported. I recommend that you search out OcuMel UK who offer advice and support for all ocular melanoma sufferers. They have a Facebook a group - OcuMel UK Patients Group - where you can ask questions and where there is a huge range of experience and advice. Hope all goes well!
