Donate today to help us support patients and their families.
Every contribution counts. But by giving regularly, even a small amount can add up over time to make a powerful impact, providing vital support for those affected by ocular melanoma.
Why we need your support?
There are around 600 new eye cancer cases in the UK every year.
1-2 People every day are diagnosed with eye cancer.
Over 5000 people in the UK are living with eye cancer.
You help people like Nicki receive emotional support
“I have lived with the threat of ocular melanoma for over ten years. I thought if the day ever came, I would be able to deal with it. That was a mistake.
I was able to deal with what the medical treatment would entail as I was well supported by my team. They sent a booklet before my appointment which explained what would happen if I was diagnosed with ocular melanoma. When the day arrived, a different story emerged.”
Over 5000 people in the UK are living with eye cancer. We are the only UK charity dedicated to Ocular Melenoma, leading the way for specialist support.
You help us connect people together like Jackie so that nobody feels alone
“Without the help and support of this band of brothers and sisters I don’t know how I’d have coped. From the dark early days of diagnosis when the rug has been pulled from underneath you to the some of the happier moments when someone posts an NED you feel part of a herd… from the honest answers you get from members of this group when you are feeling low or need to ask if anyone else has experienced the same, I thank you and let’s be honest, unless you go through this, no one can really know what we go through and feel”
There are around 700 new eye cancer cases in the UK every year and it is often unexpected so the impact can be immense.
You help us support patients like Joanne through our helpline service, so we could talk through what she had been told and signpost her to the information she needed
““I was just shocked and couldn’t take in what I was being told. I had no idea cancer could grow in my eye. I was told not to google as that wouldn’t help me. In 30 mins my life completely changed.”
1-2 People every day are diagnosed with eye cancer and people find themselves with an uncertain future of how this will affect them as a person and whether they may need to adjust to life with reduced vision.
