Hi Lisa,
I'm sorry you have just been diagnosed with this & you will still be taking in the diagnosis. I don't have ocular melanoma, mine is superficial spreading (on the skin) but I know a few ocular patients and they all recommend the Ocumel website which also has a community forum https://omuk.org/
There are also a couple of ocular patients on this CRUK forum - if you search 'ocular' or 'eye' in the search bar at the top of the page you will find some posts that may help. If I can be of any help with information or you just want to chat, please send me a friend request so we can do so by private message.
Good luck with your treatment,
Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)
Hi Angela
Thank you for your kind reply. Any contact will help I'm sure. Yes it's still very raw, trying to stay positive. Only found out yesterday although I felt that would be the news. I haven't told my adult children yet, 30 and 25. Wanted to try to get myself in a better frame of mind before ringing them. Not sure if that's possible and even when.
Sorry to hear you are also going through your own struggles. 2009 is a long time, I don't know if that's good or bad. I guess it means something, there is life after diagnosis.
I'm useless with technology, thank you for the advice as to where to look. Also I wouldn't know where to begin to friend request you. However that would be lovely and very kind of you.
Take care.
Lisa
No worries, I've sent you a friend request instead. The 'bell' icon will show if there is a notification for you. Just click on it & then on the request & I can then send you a message (which will show next to the bell icon).
