Looking for success stories for Uveal Melanoma Metastasizing to liver?

Posted by Marlene Eckert @me1229, Aug 4, 2024

I was diagnosed with OcularUveal Melanoma in 2023I had successful radiation treatment. My recent scan of the abdomen shows 8 highly suspicious lesions in my liver yet none are big enough to biopsy. My next scan is 8/9 and I see an oncologist 8/12. I also have a 2nd opinion scheduled at MD Anderson in Jacksonville, Florida, my hometown. I am trying to remain positive that I can beat this. I have changed my diet to reduce all sugar, trying to eat very healthy, walking, and trying to reduce stress. I have 2 books, one I just finished titled How to Starve Cancer and another The Metabolic Approach to Treating Cancer. Anyone out there with advice or success stories they can share with me? Do’s and Don’ts ?

Hi Marlene, I’m the sszantay, Sue, mentioned above. I believe you are doing everything you can to ward off “cancer”. What we’ve been told most of our lives, “what we put into our bodies will decide how well our body takes care of Us”. I can only speak for myself but I’m not all in on that saying. I don’t think we did anything wrong to get uveal melanoma.
I believe it’s ok to be a “sponge”…..use, talk, share whatever you need to get through the tuff times. I personally think the word “ Suspicious” scares everyone but I’ve found that others who have this word in their scans comes back just fine. Don’t assume the worst until it hits you in the face. Go out with friends, family etc and laugh & enjoy because today you don’t have liver “c” .
Your in my prayers!
