I was just diagnosed with Chorodial Melanoma a few days ago – I am 75 years old – I will see my doctor this Monday – when I got the original diagnosis, my doctor recommended Wills Eye Institute to see if I meet the requirements for a clinical trial. The treatment options sound scary and aggressive. Anyone out there have outcomes of treatments? Would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.

  HI Zeb's Mother,
  
  Welcome. I'm sorry you have had the need to find us, but I trust you'll find info and support here at MRF
  
  Occular Melanoma is a little different beast than cutanious melanoma, so folks here on this board may not have info or experience in OM. Because of this, MRF has a website for OM.. You can find it here along with a bunch of other OM Info.:
