I had melanoma removed from left side of back almost 6 years ago. I had 3 operations in 5 months, cancer went through to my lymph nodes so I have also had all lymph nodes under my left arm removed. Have had 2 smaller melanomas removed from underside of left arm and left foot as well. Last year I found out that I have a mole at the back of my left eye. When I went to optometrist a month ago she said mole has increased in size, she has referred me to an eye specialist. Am bit scared as I do not know what procedure is.

Hi Twink,
Best not second guess what might happen, since there are a couple of ways of treating occular melanoma, if that is in deed what it is. There are a few members of the site who have had treatment for this condition, and I'm sure they'll be along to tell you of their experiences.
Im sorry to hear your sad news. Unfortunately i dont have any experience from this field, but anyway i wanna wish you lots of strenght and good luck for your procedure. Im sure they will take good care of you and they have done the procedure many times before, so they really know what they are doing. Also tell them how you feel, it's good that they know that you are nervous or scared. They can also give you a pre-med to relax you a bit, i think.
