Malignant melanoma of the choroid in the eye

I had radioactive plaque inserted in my right eye in December 2020. The treatment was unsuccessful, and my eye was removed about a year later. Are used to have you had scans every three months and two weeks ago. It was determined that the cancer has metastasized to my lungs. One week ago, a bronchoscopy confirmed the spread. I am scheduled to start treatment next week at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago. Meantime I have contacted mail and am waiting for their response.

Welcome @rfinkel, that must've been a shock to hear that the occular melanoma has metastasized. I'm tagging @bob45 @twocents to bring them into the discussion as well.

Rfinkel, what type of treatment will you start next week?
