I don’t know unfortunately. I went to UCLA last week and they said that they felt I was a good candidate for brachytherapy, but would need a CT scan of my head to start planning.
Then the ball was dropped and I’ve waited over a week and heard nothing back from them.
I am following up more today and might get another opinion as well for brachytherapy.
Thank you and I hope you are able to get more help for your eye. Perhaps the radiation has also affected the tear ducts and moisture in your eye which can affect vision.
Even scarring could occur.
