Thank you for your response and information. We have only had one visit to the oncologist, the next one is December 17, and at that time he will have the scan. We are coping ok - try not to think about it too often, since there really isn't anything we can do. My husband is very private and never complains. But I try to get him to talk about it every so often so he doesn't keep it all bottled up. I know he's worried, but he covers it up quite well. I'm sure we will be nervous as the 17th of December approaches...

@twocents If you haven't seen the Ken Burns documentary about Mayo Clinic, one of the patient cases in the story is about melanoma of the eye, and that patient did very well. You can see the documentary on the PBS website (I think for a fee) and you can purchase a copy from PBS or Mayo. I thought it was wonderful, and that patient with the eye cancer was pregnant during her treatment. Maybe that would help to see a patient experience this treatment and with a good outcome.
