Uveal melanoma (eye cancer)

Hi, I have just been diagnosed with uveal melanoma, they have told me I will be going for radiotherapy treatment within the next 4-6 weeks. They have explained the procedure well. But I'm worried ab t it , any advice would be gratefully received thank you. BTW I'm a 38 Yr old single mother ,

  • Hi Jonathan, thank you for your message.

    Mine was done at an eye hospital in London. To be honest my local oncologist doesn't think I need scans. Very little knowledge on OM. Needless to say I am advocating my own surveillance plan. I did have baseline which took months. My GP referred me for a liver MRI. Some blood vessels were found. Smaller somethings were found but they can't confirm what they are. I will have another scan in 6 months. It's been exhausting trying to navigate all this. However I'm a tough chick so I'm carrying on with my life. Join Ocumel UK, they are amazing. They have a Facebook group which have helped me no end. So much support on there and calmed my nerves in the early days.

    I hope yours gets sorted quick. Good luck.
