Hello. I am 56 years of age and just had Proton Beam Therapy (Clatterbridge in Liverpool) for a malignant Melanoma in my eye. It was found a few years ago after a regular eye check up at Boots. I was referred to my local hospital, who then referred me to Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. It has been growing slowly over a period of years and that was the 1/5 of the tick boxes. Because it is close to optic nerve, we decided to go ahead and have it radiated. This was last week and I must say, I did not like it at all - found mask really uncomfortable but to think it is zapped and dying, is great. I’m due my CT scan at end of month. I’m anxious about the future.
