On March 16, 2023 I was diagnosed with Ciliary body & choroidal melanoma. I also have a "pigment dusting" over the iris. I am being treated at Mayo in Jacksonville. I was given the option to treat the tumor with plaque radiation and just monitor the dusting. Another option was to remove the entire eye. We chose the radiation at this point. That happened 4/21 and removed 4/25. I sometimes wonder if I should have just removed the eye! So far my CT of the abdomen, chest X-ray and bloodwork does not show metastasis in organs BUT, based on notes in this blog, that in some people it took months to show their cancer spreading.

I meet with my oncologist Wednesday. I want to be prepared to ask the right questions. Can anyone contribute and let me know what questions I should be asking.
