Hi yes I’m lucky melanoma removed no more treatments or checks ups but I have just been told I have cataracts (I’m not old) but I forgot to tell the consultant about my melanoma which was removed just over a year ago.
can melanoma be the culprit of my cataracts, should I contact the eye consultant and tell him about my melanoma or am I just being paranoid
thanks
dawn
Hi Dawn
I don't have any medical knowledge, so don't know whether melanoma can cause cataracts to form, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to contact your eye consultant and tell him about your melanoma diagnosis.
Do pop back and let us know what he says.
