Ameebarb,just want to send gentle hugs and let you I'm thinking about you. I'm originally from the S Jersey area and have had family members treated at Wills.. Outstanding facility!
I'm just wondering if your Onc has discussed genetic testing for the BRCA genes? Their is a link between BRCA 2 and ocular melanomas. This might give you additional options for your treatment arsenal. Forgive me if bringing this up brings you more angst.. but I felt it important to bring up.
If you like, I would be willing to post articles relevant to BRCA and OM.
Praying for good result
Gentle hugs,
Marcia
