Hello all. I thought I was doing well when I got over thyroid cancer that was diagnosed 4 years ago.

I have now had an eye removed and gone through radiotherapy for a malignant melanoma in my left eye, I still need further surgery and I am waiting to be referred to a melanoma clinic,   This seems to be taking forever.  

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm really sorry to hear that having got through treatment for thyroid cancer you're now having to deal with ocular melanoma.

    Could I point you in the direction of the eye cancer group where you can ask questions and share experiences with others who are either going through or have finished the treatment process for this cancer. 

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself or post a question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
