Hello, new here so firstly apologies if I’m posting in the wrong place. Visions blurry at best but I’m also not good with social media.
reading your messages here I’m overwhelmed by how supportive people are and wonder how people get to the space to communicate about their diagnosis, treatment and worries. I’m the silent patient who still nods, tearful, trembling, don’t speak or ask questions. I must look a wreck when I turn up. My eldest son has taken on that role… at 22 and just finishing Uni, my rock. But he’s too young and I need to get on with it. Hoping this is my first step of acceptance joining here.
Occular melanoma in ciliary body - found Feb, after routine optician picked up a detached retina. No symptoms. Utter shock twice over. Not the quick laser fix - test after test, and then a week of plaque radiotherapy. Pain beyond belief. But my eye and vision saved and I’m “recovering well” -
type it quick and don’t read it back - but I guess there is now the processing to do.
anyway, sorry for the blubber dump as I call it - my plan was to say Hello!
